Geometry
Geometry and its exercise class of School of Mathematical Sciences, PKU (As part of all undergraduate students of our department and Yuanpei experimental class of undergraduates) open the first door of the geometry curriculum. It is one of the most important basic courses in our department. Important task of the course is to charge with the cultivation of students` geometric thinking and to enhance the quality of students` geometry. This lesson mainly introduces the theory of analytic geometry of space and the basic idea of geometry properly, such as geometric in-variants, relations between groups and geometry. Curves in the space, the geometric properties of surfaces and in-variants are discussed in algebraic methods such that graphics and equations linked. Topics include vector algebra, plane and a straight line, the common surface, coordinate transformation, simplification of the quadratic equation and its properties, orthogonal transformation and affine transformation, projectile plane and projectile transformations.
