Course content
|
Major topics of this course include which are not scheduled in standard geometric courses.: projective algebraic geometry, finite geometry, geometric algebra, spherical and line geometries, higher differential geometry, up-to-date topics of computer aided geometric design etc. Considerable attention is given to the modern alliance of geometry with linear and abstract algebra and topology.
