(QR) Quantitative Reasoning (QA) Quantitative Analysis

Euclidean geometry has long been held as an essential part of mathematics. Its results and methods of deduction have been valued and found application in architecture, law, engineering, and many other fields. This class is a deeper look into Euclidean geometry and the underlying axioms. Particular emphasis will be placed on the development of mathematical reasoning through critical analysis and construction of formal proof. In addition, we will explore changes in the underlying axioms of Euclidean geometry and several different types of non-Euclidean geometry created by these changes. Geometric software will be used as a tool to construct geometric figures and for analytic proofs.
