Draw It, Prove It: An Introduction to Euclidean Geometry

• Instructor: Adriana Karagiozova

What can you draw if you are given just a compass and an unmarked ruler? Can you copy a picture made of straight lines and arcs without measuring any distances or angles? In this camp for math enthusiasts, we will introduce basic concepts from Euclidean geometry and learn how to draw a variety of geometric constructions the way the ancient Greek mathematicians did. Armed with the knowledge of constructions, we will explore the congruence rules for triangles and use them to rigorously solve planar geometry problems.
