MATH 3395:Geometric Proofs and Applications

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or better in either MATH 2390 or MATH 3390
Designed to prepare prospective 5-8 teachers and 6-12 teachers to become effective facilitators in teaching geometry, this course develops geometry as an axiomatic mathematical system and approaches it from synthetic, transformational, and algebraic perspectives (including higher dimensions). Various geometries are studied including finite, infinite, projective, Euclidean and Non-Euclidean. This course also includes a research project on a topic which would be appropriate for any entry-level school geometry student.
