MA 532 - Classical Geometries


This course explores the structure of geometry as an axiomatic theory. The focus is on the role of axioms; geometric models; neutral geometry; Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries; Euclidean, hyperbolic, and elliptic parallel postulates. The students will develop an understanding of the nature, principles and techniques of mathematical proofs and enhance their proof writing skills. Dynamic geometry software will be used for visualization of concepts and development of conjectures.

Prerequisites & Notes
MA 508 Discrete Mathematics or permission of the department.

Credits: 3
