No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1971–72 to 1974–75 (before that, 1963–64 to 1970–71 used the number for Euclidean and Projective Geometry and (a) Projective Geometry Non-Euclidean Geometry '30(b)); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The plane of complex numbers. The group of circle preserving mappings and its subgroups. Connections with non-euclidean geometries. Other number systems and their geometries (Laguerre, Minkowski). 3 hours lectures, one term. Prerequisite: M229
As printed in the 1971–72 to 1974–75 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
