Description:
COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: It is an introductory geometrical course in this study and some kind of a "bridge" course from the secondary school and the so-called university mathematics. The main aim is to systematize and enhance the understanding of elementary (synthetic) geometry. A lot of topics will be presented by means of dynamic geometry software.


COURSE DESCRIPTION AND SYLLABUS:
Plane geometry
Introduction. Fundamental objects in a plane (points and straight lines). Axioms of an Euclidean plane geometry (on elementary level). Euclid's parallel postulate.
Point sets in plane. Half-line. Segment. Convex set. Half-plane. Angle. Measure of angle. Vertically opposite angles. Angles with parallel sides. Angles with perpendicular sides. Angles on transversal. Triangle. Angle sum theorem. Quadrilateral and its diagonals. Trapezoid. Parallelogram. Rhombus. Rectangular. Square. Quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals. Polygons. Circle and circumference.
Congruence of triangles. Definition and theorems on congruence of triangles. Four characteristic points in triangle. Properties of parallelogram and rhomboid. Theorem on midline of a triangle. Inscribed and circumscribed circle of a triangle. Theorem on median of a trapezoid. Theorem on bisectors of an angle.
Perimeter and area. Perimeter and area of polygons and above-mentioned quadrilaterals Heron formula. Escribed circle of triangle. Connection between area of a triangle, sides and radii of escribed circles. Area of a circle. Perimeter of a circumference.
