Topic:Euclidean geometry

Euclid, the developer of Euclidean Geometry Welcome to the Euclidean Geometry Learning Project, part of the School of Mathematics. The purposes of this learning project are to facilitate the study and further understanding of Euclidean Geometry, and to assist students currently studying it in class. See below for more information about the learning project. From Wikipedia: Euclidean geometry is a mathematical well-known system attributed to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. It has been one of the most influential books in history, as much for its method as for its mathematical content. The method consists of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and then proving many other propositions (theorems) from those axioms. Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier Greek mathematicians, Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could be fitted together into a comprehensive deductive and logical system.

Scholars

In this learning project, all participants are scholars, whether they are beginners or experts. Everyone on the project will be working towards the common goals of learning from others, and teaching others.

• Messedrocker
• Freiberg
• yrsnkd

Current tasks

• Develop lessons with which to teach geometry
• Teach each other
• Improve the Geometry Wikibook
• Develop the Standard postulate and theorem naming proposal

Discussion

Discussion should, at the moment, take place at the talk page.

Lessons

And finally, to the (regrettably incomplete) textbook and lessons. During this course, we shall be using the Geometry Wikibook in conjunction with the tests and quizzes in the lessons.
