Neutral and Non-Euclidean Geometries
by David C. Royster
Publisher: UNC Charlotte 2000
Number of pages: 145
Description:
In this course you are introduced, or re-introduced, to the method of Mathematical Proof. You will be introduced to new and interesting areas in Geometry, with most of the time spent on the study of Hyperbolic Geometry. We will learn one of the Fundamental Theorems of Mathematics that many students never get to see.
