MATH 233 - Fundamentals of Geometry (3.00)
In this course, the student will learn and apply the principles of geometry as well as recognize and understand their relevance to the real world. Topics include fundamental concepts and patterns; geometric reasoning and proof; parallel and perpendicular lines as they relate to Euclidean, hyperbolic and elliptical geometry; triangle relationships and triangle congruence; exploring quadrilaterals; transformations and similarity; investigating right triangles, polygons, surface area and volume, and circles. Throughout the course, special emphasis is given to problem-solving techniques.
