Mathematics is a universal language used to identify, describe, and investigate the patterns and problems of our world. Geometry builds on the foundation constructed in previous mathematics courses and uses logical reasoning, measurement, and geometric construction to investigate the special relationships of lines, angles, triangles, circles and polygons. Through these methods we will investigate congruence and similarities of triangles, area and volume, the Pythagorean Theorem, geometric proofs and the basics of trigonometry. The concepts and topics emphasized in the course include measurement geometric patterns, coordinate geometry, two- and three-dimensional figures, transformational geometry, congruence, similarity, inductive and deductive reasoning, logic, and proof.

This course contains a comprehensive review of the real and complex number system.  Other topics include relations, graphs, linear and polynomial functions, linear equations and inequalities, verbal problems, and exponential and logarithmic functions.  Continuing goals of this course are the enhancement of a student's ability to reason deductively and to understand the need for precision of language in mathematics.
