Euclidean Geometry ((4))

Catalog description

The course begins with a thorough review of high school geometry, then goes on to discuss special points associated with triangles, circles and certain associated lines, Ceva's Theorem, and compass-and-straightedge constructions. There is emphasis on providing numerical formulas like the laws of sines, cosines, and tangents, Stewart's theorem, Ptolemy's theorem and the area formula of Heron. Dynamical Geometry software is used for exploration and discovery. This course provides a survey of material needed to prepare students to teach high school geometry courses.
