MATH 650 Geometry for Teachers

3 semester hours

This course investigates geometry from 4 perspectives: Euclid's axioms and constructions, Cartesian coordinates and algebra, projective and perspective geometry, and rigid and similarity transformations. This approach reinforces essential skills required for teaching geometry courses in the secondary curriculum by making connections to proving geometric theorems, using precise definitions, showing the connections between geometry and algebra and complex numbers, perfecting how to visualize in 2 and 3 dimensions, and understanding congruence and similarity through transformations.
