Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

It is an introductory course on geometry. The aim is to study problems in geometry using rectangular coordinates and tools based on Linear Algebra.
On completion of the course the student should be familiar with basic notions in geometry like the one of isometry. Furthermore, the student should have a background to allow him to attain more advanced courses on geometry, calculus of several variables and others.

General Competences
  • Working independently
  • Decision-making
  • Production of free, creative and inductive thinking
  • Criticism and self-criticism

Syllabus

Axioms of Euclidean geometry (plane and space) and proofs of basic propositions. Cartesian model, vectors, linear independence, bases, coordinates and applications. Inner product, cross product, area, volume and determinants. Lines and planes. Geometric transformations (parallel transports, rotations, reflections), isometries and the notion of congruence. Transformation of area and volume under linear transformations. Curves and surfaces of 2nd degree and their classification. Curves, surfaces and parametrizations.
