10/16 - A new homework has been posted and will be due in two weeks. Some helpful supplemental material will be posted shortly.
10/3 - I made a new section to the class website called Notes which contain material that I have found useful in understanding spherical and hyperbolic geometry. They may prove useful for your homework. As always, you are welcome to use outside sources on your homework, but you need to cite them properly.
10/2 - I have posted the latest homework to the class website. You had time to work on it in class, and it will be due in two weeks.
09/11 - Wow, we got to see some great presentations today. I'm sure that we'll be seeing many more this semester. I've posted the tentative presentation schedule in the presentations section. If there is a conflict, lemme know so we can fix it.
09/11 - Hey everyone, there was a typo in the last question of the homework. I have finally fixed that. Sorry.
09/05 - I have just posted the latest homework. It is shorter than the last one, but it covers material in Chapter 2 that we have not yet covered in class. This one will be graded, so spend some time on it.
09/04 - Sorry guys, but I forgot the geometry textbook at school. I'll post the homework tomorrow when I get in. Also, if you are presenting next week, please tell me what you want to present on by Thursday, or I will assign you a topic.
09/03 - I finally got around to posting those sample constructions we tried in the computer lab to the GeoGebra page. Sorry it took so long.
08/29 - The first homework has been posted, and is due next Tuesday (09/04). It deals with some proofs and constructions. It will not be graded per se, but we will go over it in class, so it will count toward your class participation points.
08/28 - I have finally posted office hours for this class. If you need a different time, write me an email so we can schedule a meeting.
08/21 - I have posted the pretest online in the homework section. Please look over any answers that you aren't clear on and be ready to talk about these questions next week. You don't have to have all the right answers, but discussion in this class is very important.
08/18 - Hello class. I am getting the course materials together right now. Because our class only meets once a week, it is very important that you attend the lectures. See you Tuesday!
