Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the foundations of Euclidean geometry, with classical constructional problems, with various geometric mappings and their application in solving problems, both planimetric and stereometric.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to understand foundations of Euclidean geometry, to solve classical constructional problems, to distinguish various geometric mappings and to apply them for solving problems, both planimetric and stereometric.
