MATH 410 - Geometry

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MATH

Description:

Geometry from an advanced viewpoint including analysis of geometric notions and axioms and the student of discrete geometrics. Euclidean and non- Euclidean geometries using synthetic, algebraic and transformational methods are discussed. Course Objectives (1) Explain the use and purpose of axiomatic systems (2) Derive and prove theorems in finite and incidence geometries (3) State and apply axioms of Euclidean geometry (4) Explain the essential differences between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries (5) Investigate the absence of the parallel postulate in neutral geometry (6) Prove the basic theorems of high school geometry and solve problems encountered there including rectangles, parallel lines, triangles (including congruence, area, and similarity), circles, and Euclidean constructions
