Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to explain the foundations and classification of affine, congruent (isometric), similarity and circular transformations. Students will understand the structure of transformation groups in Euclidean geometry and will learn analytical representation of such mappings and their applications in solving geometric construction problems.
