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
