Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The course can be viewed as a continuation of Analytic Geometry. The aim is to study geometric transformations of the plane or space. The classification of isometries is provided. Further applications are given, as well the classification of second degree surfaces. Moreover, algebraic curves are studied. Upon completion of the course, the student should be familiar with notions of geometry and geometric transformations that are used in other courses like Calculus of several variables.

General Competences
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Develop critical thinking skills.

Syllabus
