MATH251
Topics in Geometry
MATH251 FA
Next Offered in 9899 FA
An intermediate-level course which will concentrate on
affine and projective geometry in an algebraic setting, with
attention to other topics as time permits. The
relationships between geometry and algebra will be
emphasized.
MAJOR READINGS
Regular classroom handouts, roughly in the
format of chapters for a future textbook.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Between two and five
examinations. Enough computational homework for the student
to become familiar with incidence matrices and finite
fields.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
This course should
be a good introduction or companion course for Mathematics
261. The geometric constructions will emphasize the
applications of matrix groups, matrix rings, and matrix
fields to geometric structures.
