Description: (From the catalog) Euclidean geometry, inversive and projective geometries, topology (Mobius strips, Klein bottle, projective space), and non-Euclidean geometries in two and three dimensions; contributions of Euclid, Gauss, Lobachevsky, Bolyai, Riemann, and Hilbert. Research project and paper required.

This semester (Fall 2002), the course will concentrate on the axiomatic development of geometry, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean.
