3. Foundations of Geometry
Jun 13
The course deals primarily with concepts of Euclidean geometry. It includes definitions, postulates, and theorems on lines, line segments, angles, polygons, circles, and solids. Theorems on triangles, congruence between triangles, and similarity between triangles are proven using direct proof. Areas of plane regions and volumes of solids are likewise discussed. The course culminates with a thorough discussion of the different types of geometries, namely, Euclidean geometry, elliptic geometry, and hyperbolic geometry. 18 sections
