SCOPE: This course will cover various topics from "classical and modern geometry." We will examine informally and formally selected theorems and theories for planar and spatial geometry from both synthetic and analytic (algebraic and transformational) viewpoints. Other approaches to geometry such as differential geometry and topology may be presented as time permits.
Lectures will organize the topics to present materials not covered in the texts as well as those treated in the texts. Supplementary readings and materials will be supplied as appropriate.

TESTS & ASSIGNMENTS:  We may use Moodle for some on-line reality quizzes. 

Reading: Each student will be expected to read short articles about geometric topics from   The College Mathematics Journal, The Mathematics Teacher, Scientific American , a geometric web site, or other approved sources and make brief written summaries of these to be passed in every other Tuesday. These will be graded Honors/Cr/NCr. Here's some help finding articles:

Other Media: Occasionally video materials will be assigned for viewing followed by in -class discussions.
These materials may be placed on reserve in the library or found linked through Moodle.
Weekly problem assignments will be due on Wednesday. (Accepted one day tardy at most!)
Some problems may be assigned but not numerically graded.

Projects: Each student will be expected to develop a course project that presents some aspect of geometry with both results and explanation. These may done in partnerships of two (or three) students and with consultations with Professor Flashman.
A brief preliminary descriptive project proposal is due 5pm Tuesday, February 8th from each individual or partnership. A progress report on the project is due March 25th.
Final projects are due for review Thursday, April 29th. (These will be graded Honors/Cr/NCr.)

The final examination will be an OPEN BOOK TAKE-HOME EXAMINATION, distributed Thursday, April 29th, and DUE Friday, May 13, before 5 P.M.

GRADES: Final grades will be determined taking into consideration the quality of work done in the course as evidenced primarily from the accumulation of points from graded assignments and examinations approximately as follows:
