On Line DESCRIPTION: Geometry and Technology (1) Optional one unit
computer laboratory course supplements MATH 371 Geometry with hands-on
experience in using technology to investigate geometry. Students will
be expected to use the learned capabilities through weekly assignments.
SCOPE: This course will cover various topics in visualizing "classical and modern
geometry."
Classes
will be held in a computer lab to facilitate hands on experience with
appropriate computer software Supplementary readings
and materials will be supplied as appropriate.

Math 480 assignments are submitted electronically through Moodle for grading by 9 pm on the date specified in the assignment.
All but the final assignment will be worth 10 points. I will drop the
lowest assignment score from the total for averaging. The final
assignment will be worth 30 points.
There will be no final examination.
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 the assignments.
MATH 371 Connection: We will use the computer to illustrate and investigate some of the geometry discussed in MAth 371 dynamically.
