Aims of the Course
Circles and triangles are familiar objects in geometry and also a hidden treasure trove of surprising results that can deduced from a basic set of rules. In this course, we shall look at some of these results and how they can be proved through careful logical steps.
Constructing and understanding proofs is an important skill that is valuable in every branch of mathematics. Students should already have met angles, including the sum of angles in a triangle, along with the definitions of isosceles and equilateral triangles. They should be keen to understand why things are true, rather than simply accepting that they are.
One of the texts we'll be using is Acheson's The Wonder Book of Geometry and spending a lot of time learning and exploring the online software at GeoGebra.
