Course overview
The Introduction to Geometry program, which is provided by edX in association with the SchoolYourself institute, explains geometry to the candidates from the very beginning. It introduces the candidates to the basics of geometry which includes triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons and line segments. It also talks about the history of geometry which began 200 years ago way before rockets were launched and explain the proof of 3D and 2D shapes.
This course does not fail to answer questions like, “What are parallel lines?” or “How big is an angle?” and then gradually proceed to more complex problems and theorems like the Pythagorean and Cavalieri’s principle. The course deals with finding the area of triangles using more than one formula, volume and surface area of different objects and it also discovers many shortcuts to counting numbers.
It explains candidates about the estimates of the size of Earth and teaches about other high school geometry concepts perpendicular lines and segments. Introduction to Geometry course is funded partly by Wertheimer Fund.
