Foundations of Geometry, MATH 251

Syllabus (PDF)

Project 1:

Find an application of mathematics and describe a plan for a poster that describes that application.

Dynamic Geometry Software:

Explore a simple example of a triangle using dynamic mathematics software to explore geometry and algebra. (Double-click on the applet to download the application to your computer.) Some of our homework will be concerned with exploring the geometry of the triangle and various points in it. I will hand out some guidance, questions, and several writing tasks in class.

GeoGebra:

GeoGebra is an excellent, free geometry exploration software based on Java. Download a version of GeoGebra to your own computer.
