Geometry may be one of the oldest branches of mathematics, but it’s much more than a theoretical subject. It’s part of our everyday lives, says Professor Jennifer Taback, and key to understanding many ...

Materials were written for an entire year's course in geometry in which transformations were used to develop the concepts of congruence, similarity, and symmetry, as well as being a vehicle for proof.

The course presents a rigorous treatment of the foundations of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. The discovery of non-Euclidean geometry in the first half of the 19th century shattered the ...
