2018-19 Spring - MATH2741 - Geometric Constructions

Course

Description

This course is intended for students with some mathematical maturity. This course teaches geometric constructions using tools like straightedge and compass. Moreover, geometric constructions will be associated with algebraic fields of numbers and hence related to various famous constructability problems. Topics covered by the course include Euclidean constructions, compass-only constructions, straightedge-only constructions, constructability, three classical problems and regular polygons.
