M101 C (Minneapolis Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
Stephanie R. Whitney


 

In a collegiate geometry course the instructor and students explored geometry on a sphere with the goal of creating an internally consistent axiomatic system. The students learned geometry and, in the process, experienced many facets of the work of mathematicians. Student reflections, videos, and some activities will be shared.
