Description
Analytic plane geometry: Conic sections and their different representations, theory of affine geometry. GebGebra as a tool for teaching.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student knows
- how to determine a conic section using the focus and directrix, and their connection to algebraic equations.
- the most essential results about conic sections and their proofs
- a conic section from a second order algebraic equation of two variables
- how to parametrise conic sections and obtain the equations of the tangents using the parametrisation
- basic properties of isometries
- basic properties of affine mas and fundamental theorems in affine geometry
- how to apply affine maps to prove geometric results
- basic properties of the GeoGebra-program and how to make simple geometric demonstrations
- how to apply the GeoGebra-program in identifying geometric properties and how to formulate mathematical statements from them
