MATH 3110 - College Geometry
An axiomatic approach to Euclidean geometry. A core batch of theorems of Euclidean geometry are proven, and interesting geometric problems are solved using the axioms and theorems. Additional concepts and techniques – such as similarity, transformations, coordinate systems, vectors, matrix representations of transformations, complex numbers, and symmetry – are introduced as ways of simplifying the proofs of theorems or the solutions of geometric problems. Hyperbolic geometry is introduced from an axiomatic standpoint, primarily to illustrate the independence of the Parallel Postulate. Computers are used to produce dynamic drawings to illustrate theorems and problems.
