| About the Course | This course is an introduction to Euclidean Geometry. We will explore some history of Geometry and axiomatic systems. In this class you will do mathematical proofs and exposition of mathematical topics. | To Do | Homework 1: The homework is due on monday, September 18, in class, and it can be done without the book, just use the handout I gave in class, and the 5 undefined terms: point, line, lie on, between, congruent. Read page 27 (click here for a copy of p.27-28 ) carefully, and then do problems 1 and 2 (all parts, except for 2e) |
