Completing the first semester of this course will meet the St. Louis graduation requirement as it covers the major topics in a typical geometry course. The second semester is offered for those students who wish to have a complete course, including proofs. The successful completion of Geometry, R-3, A fulfills the St. Louis School graduation requirement. However, further mathematics courses are recommended for those students planning to attend college after graduation. This course in Plane Geometry is designed to acquaint the student with the geometric properties in mathematics necessary for further work in the field.
Emphasis is on deductive and inductive reasoning in the solutions of proofs.
The two Geometry courses are very similar. They differ in the depth of discussion and investigation. The Geometry, R-l class covers the topics in more detail with more applications. This course will offer the student a firmer foundation in the topics necessary for continuation to higher mathematics courses. Topics from algebra and geometry Will be broadened.
