This course explores Euclid's world of planar geometry and compares his work both to that of modern geometers and other mathematicians who did Euclidean geometry in a manner very far from Euclid's. This course also will look at non-Euclidean geometries, where parallel lines behave in unexpected ways, and finite geometries where restrictive worlds stretch the imagination.
