MATH4381 - Structure of Modern Geometry

MATH 4381 Structure of Modern Geometry (3 semester credit hours) The course is designed to familiarize students with the geometrical concepts which relate to two and three dimensional geometry and the mathematical techniques used in the study of geometry. The emphasis is both on the development of understanding of the concepts and the ability to use the concepts in proving theorems. The course includes study of axiom systems, transformational geometry, and an introduction to non-Euclidean geometries, supplemented by other topics as determined by the instructor. Prerequisite: A grade of at least a C- in MATH 2418 or equivalent. (3-0) Y
