Course Details
MT 320 Overview
This one-semester introduction to Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries serves as an introduction to mathematical proof. Through an exploration of properties of plane geometry and Euclid’s Postulates, students will develop skill in logical mathematical reasoning, and learn to develop good mathematical proofs. The importance of axiomatic reasoning is developed through experiences with some non-Euclidean geometries. While not a teaching methods course, practical ways to implement geometry into the middle/high school curriculum are modeled through the use of dynamic geometry software. Prerequisite: at least a C in MT 196 or departmental approval.
