The slideshow will remind you of the geometry CONCEPTS we learned in class. Take a look and see if you can remember the VOCABULARY!!!
Below, you will find information regarding the "Father of Geometry", the one and only Euclid and how important the BASICS of GEOMETRY really are. Remember the PURPOSE of our class is to understand...

Euclid wrote his books, The Elements, as a reference guide for all people that would explore the power of Geometry.
- check him out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid Euclid did a couple truly wonderful things while organizing Geometry and...don't forget this was back in 300 B.C.!!! He explained Geometry starting with the MOST BASIC IDEAS and then built upon those ideas to explain even the most complex concepts. |

Dimensions: We talked about 0D (points), 1D(lines), 2D(planes), and of course 3D(our life). To the left and right are videos on the 4th Dimension (4D). These videos will bend your mind and maybe hurt your brain BUT you will notice something very special.....you can understand the videos using BASIC GEOMETRY!
Don't believe me??? Go ahead and take a look at the videos!
