Learning Outcomes
Competences
The students are familiar with basic geometric knowledge and with fundamental proof and computational techniques of geometry, which are assumed to be known in further courses.
Skills Knowledge
  • Know different coordinate systems and use them to describe geometric objects,
  • know the properties of geometric transformations and use them to solve geometric problems;
  • Know examples of geometric structures and objects;
  • re-derive proofs of classical theorems of geometry;
  • Know some examples of algorithmic methods in geometry and apply them to small test problems;
Cartesian, affine, homogeneous and barycentric coordinate systems; various geometric transformation groups (Euclidean, affine, projective) and their invariants; elementary results of algorithmic geometry and differential geometry.
