This independent study in geometry will include a review of high school geometry, a few topics in advanced Euclidean geometry, a reading of Books I and II of Euclid's Elements, and an introduction to hyperbolic geometry. The grading for the course will be based on a journal (40%), a two-hour written midterm exam (30%), and a one-hour oral final exam (30%). Since the student will be working independently on the material, a disciplined work ethic is required.
