Description: |
Study the foundations of Euclidean geometry, including the parallel postulate, absolute and non-Euclidean geometries, defects in Euclid's treatment and a modern axiomatization of Euclidean geometry. Learn about modern topics such as symmetry or isometries. |
Learning Goals: |
These are my goals for you for this semester. I am also interested to hear any goals you have. Students will successfully communicate mathematics through reading, writing and speaking. Students will value peer collaboration and group learning while continuing to maintain a sense ofself-motivation and personal understanding. Students will work to solve dicult problems. Learn to value the process of guring them out yourself,rather than just searching for \the answer." Students will understand what it means to prove something, recognize an excellent proof, and locateand x problems in a awed proof. Students will learn to evaluate and improve mathematical work produced by themselves and others. We will all have FUN learning and doing mathematics! *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here. |
