MATH 350 - Geometry

Next Offered: 2009-2010
Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 NS, QP-F

This course takes a modern approach to geometry based on group theory and the Erlangen Programm making possible the survey of a wide spectrum of geometries, Euclidean and non-Euclidean. Geometries treated include Moebius geometry, hyperbolic geometry, elliptic geometry and absolute geometry. The discovery of these geometries in the 19th century caused a scientific and philosophical revolution second only to the Copernican revolution.
