Texts:
Course description. An introduction to hyperbolic geometry with some discussion of other non-Euclidean systems. Grading: The plan is to use each book for roughly half the course at a depth which will vary according to the interests and ability of the class as a whole. Homework assignments will be given. The rest of your grade will be determined by attendence/participation, a midterm and a final exam. The weights of each of these are as follows.
The midterm will test the material covered during the first half of the course; the final exam will test the second half. The mid-term is tentatively scheduled for February 14th. Make-ups: Make-ups for exams will only be given with documented University-approved excuses (see University Regulations). ADA: Students with disabilities can get assistance from the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (845-1637). I'm happy to work with them and you.
