Materials were written for an entire year's course in geometry in which transformations were used to develop the concepts of congruence, similarity, and symmetry, as well as being a vehicle for proof.
There's a simple way to learn geometry over the summer. It is easy and fun. Imagine Euclidean geometry: the video game. If your experience in high school geometry was anything like mine, it probably ...
We’ve all learned “parallel lines never intersect” in high school geometry. But what your teachers failed to explain is that “parallel lines never intersect” is only true in Euclidean geometry, which ...
In this paper, I critically discuss Frege's philosophy of geometry with special emphasis on his position in The Foundations of Arithmetic of 1884. In Sect. 2,1 argue that that what Frege calls faculty ...
