MT 301 - Modern Geometry

Semester Hour(s): 3
Semester(s) Offered: Fall even years
Pre-Requisite(s): MT 109 or higher, or permission of instructor
Modern Geometry covers axiomatic foundations of Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometries, finite geometry and, transformations, congruence, formal proofs, tessellations, fractals and use of computer graphics technology. The emphasis will be on the contrast between the traditional and modern approaches to geometry. The course will provide students with an appreciation of the modeling applications of geometry, familiarize students with the real-world applications of geometry, provide students opportunity to explore one topic in depth and write a paper about it.
