Course content
- Basic concepts of Euclidean geometry. Point, line segment, ray, line, polyline. Incidence of points a straight lines. - Arrangement of points. Mutual position of points and lines. - Triangle and its properties, plane, half-plane, mutual position of lines and planes. - Geometric relations - incidence, arrangement, similarity, parallelism. - Convex and non-convex sets. Convex and non-convex angle. Circle, round, sphere, spherical surface, arc, n-angle, quadrangle, parallelogram. - Solids. Free parallel projection. Developing spatial imagination. Meshes. - Conformity. Segment line comparison, segment line operations. Equality of angles and triangles. - Angle comparison and angle operations. Identical representations in the plane - identity, axial symmetry, central symmetry, displacement, rotation. Composing identical representations in a plane, group of similarities. - Segment line and angle measure. Units for measuring segment lines and angles. Measure of a planar formation. - Areas of some planar formations. Circumference and areas of rectangle, square. - The length of the circle. Use of mesh. Measure of spatial unit. - Cubic capacity of solids. Metric relations between geometric shapes - distances of point sets, divergences of segment lines and planes. - Construction tasks. Sets of points of a given property. - Axiomatic system. Models of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. Historical notes
