MATH128
- Modern Geometry/Lecture
Recalls Euclidean geometry and then proceeds to modern related topics: Hilbert’s axioms; hyperbolic (Lobachevskian), elliptic and projective geometries, and philosophical implications of geometries without the Parallel Postulate; finite geometries; automorphism groups (Klein’s Erlanger Programme). One aim is to show the beauty of deduction in mathematics. Prerequisites: high-school geometry and either a semester of college mathematics or permission. Mr. Joyce, Mr. Rudolph/Offered periodically
