Course content
- Axiomatic system. Models of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. Historical notes. - Basic concepts of Euclidean geometry. Point, segment, half-line, straight line, broken line. Incidence of points and straight lines. Axioms of incidence. - Mutual position of points and straight lines; plane, half-plane, mutual position of straight lines and planes. - Geometric relations - incidence, arrangement, congruence, parallelism. - Triangle and its properties. Congruence of triangles. - Convex and non-convex sets: angle, circle, circle, arc, triangle, quadrilateral, n-angle; sphere, spherical surface. - Angle, types of angles. Circles and circles. - Consistency. Comparing line segments, operations with line segments. Comparing angles and operations with angles. - Identical representations in the plane - identity, axial symmetry, central symmetry, displacement, rotation. Stacking identical views in a plane, group of similarities. - Measure of line segment and angle. Units of measurement of line segments and angles. Circumference of a planar structure. - Contents of some planar formations. Use of square grids. - Entities. Free parallel projection. Development of spatial imagination. Networks of entities. - Volumes and surfaces of entities. Metric relations between geometric shapes - distances of point sets, deviations of straight lines and planes. - Design tasks. Sets of points of a given property.
