MATH307 Transformation and Symmetries

10 cp
Prerequisites
MATH216 Abstract Algebra and Equations and MATH205 Geometry
Teaching Organisation 4 hours per week for twelve weeks or equivalent.

This unit provides and introduction to geometry from an algebraic standpoint, in particular to the idea that different geometries can be defined by the transformations that are allowed. By the consideration of the symmetries of figures and the transformations that preserve them, group theory will be used to obtain geometric insights.
