| Title: | Euclid's Elements, Book I |
|---|---|
| Course Section Number: | MAT-178-01 |
| Department: | Math |
| Description: | In this course, we'll read from the first book of Euclid's Elements, mostly in Greek. We will discuss technical aspects of grammar that rarely appear in traditional prose or poetry, philology, and uses of technology in classical studies. We will also pay close attention to the logic and structure of Euclid's proofs: why does he prove things the way he does? What is the mathematical significance of each proposition? The course will meet once weekly throughout the spring semester. Most of the assessment will come from in-class translation and discussion; a small portion will be at the end of the course, with each student doing a small individual translation project and presentation.
