MATH 582B Princ of Geometry II

MATH 582. PRINCIPLES OF GEOMETRY II. (Credit, 3 hours). Basic experiences include an understanding of the techniques used to validate and organize geometry into a deductive system. The Hilbert-Birkoff axioms will augment Euclid¿s geometry. Non-Euclidian geometries will follow from a study of the parallel postulate controversy. Transformational and projective geometries will be briefly discussed.
