Students are encountered with an examination of the axiomatic development of geometry, and some possible variations in axioms, and then move to a study of classical Euclidean geometry, including geometric transformations and their relevance for computer graphics. There may be some discussion of non-Euclidean geometries, such as projective geometry or hyperbolic geometry. Prerequisite: MATH 2120 or MATH 2121 or MATH 1300, all with a minimum grade of C. Required Seminar: MATH 3080S
