Course Description:

Emphasis in this course will be an axiomatic approach to the familiar geometry of Euclid, and how that approach historically produced other geometries. Several of these geometries will be explored, including finite geometries, projective geometry, and non-Euclidean geometries. The following topics are integrated into the course: comparisons of various geometries, historical aspects of geometry, reading and writing of geometric proofs, and the use of dynamic software packages.
