MAT 240 - Geometry

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

This course provides a survey of modern approaches to Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries in two dimensions. The axiomatic foundations of metric and transformational geometries, isometries, similarities, symmetric figures, scaling, measurement, geometric construction, and projective geometry are topics that may be examined. Topics of interest to preservice secondary teachers include tessellation and connections between geometry and other areas of mathematics, including linear and abstract algebra. Technology is used extensively to investigate concepts.
