Course Objective

The purpose of this course is to teach the axiomatic structure of geometry, the concept of equality and equivalence of triangles, basic proportional theorems and applications, concept of similarity and similarity of triangles, Seva and Menelaus theorems and applications, right triangles and applications, geometric drawings, concept of polygons and special rectangles, the concept of circle, obtaining the circle s perimeter and area and its applications, space geometry and its basic axioms, the properties of solids, the applications and volume of solids. Additionally, another purpose of the course is to support students in order to reason about the basic concepts and theorems in the geometry teaching programs with vectorial, synthetical and analytical approaches.
