This course is designed for pre-college teachers of mathematics. It will be taught in Greece and Turkey and examine the ancient Greek influences on the evolution of geometry. Students study, first-hand, the geometric principles applied by Greek artists and architects and observe their impacts on the architecture and art forms of the western world. Mathematics topics include: Euclidean geometry, constructions, proportions, transformational geometry, conic sections, solid geometry, trigonometry, and principles of non-Euclidean geometry. These topics will be studied within the context of the cultural dimensions and people who influenced the development and applications of geometry, art, and architecture of ancient Greece.
