Announcements

4/26 The last homework has been simplified in the last two problems, and some hints have been added.

4/13 Here's a complete list of worksheets from this quarter.

  • Area of triangles in hyperbolic space
  • Area of triangles on spheres
  • Single and double elliptic geometry
  • 4/13 The study session today at 12:00 today is scheduled to be in Gruening 413.

    4/4 A study sheet for the second midterm (April 14) is available.

    4/4 There were a couple of typos on the lastest assignment. Please download the most recent version.

    3/8 You can make up 2/3 of your points lost on one of problem 1 or problem 2 of the midterm. By Friday, March 10, turn in a corrected solution along with your original midterm. You must work alone on correcting your work, but you can consult with me during my offce hours.

    3/7 The formalized project guidelines are available.

    3/2 The study session today is at 12:00 in Gruening 413.

    2/24 The midterm study list is up.

    2/19 The first midterm will be on Friday, March 3.

    2/17 As promised, here are a bunch of links from today's lecture:

  • NonEuclid
  • How to crochet a hyperbolic plane
  • The hyperbolic soccer ball. (Note: I messed up in class describing this.)
  • The history of the standard soccer ball.
  • Geometer's Sketchpad

    2/15 Check out Bill Casselman's book if you are interested in learning some PostScript.

    2/7 There was a small correction to the "extra" problem on Homework 3. Please look at the updated version.

    2/2 Here's a link for Euclid's Elements on the web.

    1/30 There is a correction to problem 1 on the homework. Change the affine plane of order 4 to an affine plane of order 5.

    1/20 We're trying to change the classroom to Greuning 412. I'll let you know here if we can make this change.
