Description
An axiomatic approach to fundamentals of Geometry both Euclidean and no-Euclidean. Emphasis on historical development. College Geometry also presents a formal and fundamental development of neutral and Euclidean geometry with an emphasis on valid arguments. Non-Euclidean geometry will also be investigated. The course begins with a thorough review of geometry, including using synthetic and algebraic approaches, and continues with a selection of more advanced topics. Topics covered include two- and three-dimensional shapes, proving triangles congruent or similar, quadrilaterals, circles, plane geometry and non-Euclidean geometry. Pre-requisite: A grade of C or better in MATH1510 or an equivalent course or satisfactory placement score. Offered: Fall, Spring, Online.
