| MTH 460 - College Geometry |
|
Prerequisite: MTH 315. This course examines concepts not usually included in a high school plane geometry course: axiomatic structure, finite geometries; Euclidean geometry axioms, historical development and relationships between various geometries, transformations in two and three dimensions, groups of transformations, convexity, linear programming, geometry of polygons and circles, the nine-point circle, constructions, and an introduction to non-Euclidean geometry. These topics will be developed within a problem solving context and will emphasize construction and communication of mathematical ideas including argument and proof. A dynamic geometry software package, such as Geometer's Sketchpad, will be used as a tool to develop geometric concepts. 3(3-0) F,S
