Course Overview
Geometry is the study of mathematical space, a disciplined science that begins with definitions and postulates and
proceeds by rigorous proof to certain and unchanging truths. It is also an art, for the crafting of a clear and elegant
proof is among the most beautiful achievements of the human mind. As a liberal art, geometry frees us from the
notion that all truth is relative and forms in the student a habit of logical and orderly thought. This course follows
Euclid’s Elements, the great textbook that has shaped geometric study for over two millennia. By mastering Euclid’s
definitions, postulates, and propositions—and by learning to construct proofs and solve new problems—students will
come to see why geometry is a noble and worthy pursuit.
