Written Report:
Write a report on a geometric topic. Possible topics:
topology, fractal geometry, spherical geometry,elliptic
geometry, 3-D isometries, plane tilings,
frieze and wallpaper patterns, etc. Two people may work together on a project. Each person or pair must have
distinct topics. Papers should be written in Microsoft
Word and may include Geometers Sketchpad animations.
A minimum of two sources must be books from the library. Final reports will be posted on the web.
GRADES: Grades will be based on
exams, a comprehensive final exam, a project paper and oral report, collected assignments,
quizzes, and class presentations/participation. Grades will be based on the following scale:
A: 90% to 100%
B: 80% to 89%
C: 70% to 79%
D: 60% to 69%
F: Below 60%
GENERAL INFORMATION: The course is a rigorous study of
geometric systems. The course is a survey of geometric
systems in order to fulfill the Minnesota
licensure requirements for geometry. Expectations: Submitted work must
be well organized and written. Each student learns to use the dynamic software
package Geometer's Sketchpad. Each student learns to write clear concise
proofs. Each student actively participates in class. Students are expected to
use resources from the library.
Resources and tools which are available:
1. Geometer's
Sketchpad is available on computers in the two mathematics computer labs.
2. The TI-92 has a
version of the geometry program Cabri. There are four TI-92 calculators
which may be checked out from me. Do not buy one for yourself.
3. In the Peanut file folder,
there is a program titled Wingeom which may be used. All the Peanut
programs are freeware. Copies of all the Peanut programs may be downloaded
from the web. Click here to
download. the Peanut programs.
4. The fourth floor of the
library has many reference books available.
Makeup exams will be given only in cases of extreme
illness, family emergency, or university-approved activities; you
must notify me before the exam takes place.
The following are required to be on the
syllabus by MnSCU.
Where and when is class. MF in Bridges 268 and W in MacLean 169 from 1:30 - 2:20 p.m.
