This course explores various approaches to geometry, as we trace the evolution of mathematical thinking and rigor from ancient to modern: constructions with straight-edge and compass, axiomatic approach of Euclid and Hilbert, analytic geometry via linear algebra, and Klein?s approach using symmetries and transformations. This will open the doors to many non-Euclidean flavors of geometry, where projective geometry will be studied in some detail.
