Math 205 -- Topics in Geometry 

Math 205 surveys several different approaches to geometry. Our focus will be using transformations in the complex plane to study non-Euclidean geometries. We will also see how groups can be used to study symmetry in the plane and space. This course is not a requirement for the math major or minor, but it can be counted as a 200-level elective toward either the major or the minor. Math 205 is typically offered in alternate years.

Prerequisites: Math 121 or equivalent.

Who should take this course?
Math majors or minors
Students considering a career in teaching mathematics at the secondary level

Topics covered:
Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries
Symmetry groups
Polyhedra
