Honors 213
Second Hour Exam Review
Disclaimer: I have attempted to be comprehensive in the
following, but important items may have been omitted by mistake. If
you see such an omission, please let me know, but you are responsible
for all of the lecture material to date.
The second hour exam for Honors 213 will be held on Thursday,
March 2, and will cover chapters 2 and 3 (beginning with incidence
axioms and running through the material on betweenness). I will
provide a sheet with postulates, axioms, and logic rules (but not
definitions).
- Definitions:
- Be able to define the terms that appear in chapters 2 and 3
(formal definitions). In particular, be able to provide the
definitions of affine and projective geometries that appear in
chapter 2.
- Be able to define the terms that we have encountered so far
in Chapter 3 (through the axioms of betweenness)
- Proofs
- Be able to construct proofs for fairly straightforward
statements (i.e., there are some of the homework problems that
I will not give you on an exam). Be able to justify the steps
in a proof. A review of homework problems would be the best
review for this part.
- (This was the item added today): Philosophical musings
- Much of what we have been doing may appear to be stating
the obvious, or even being picky. Why should we take such care
with things? Be prepared for an essay question along these
lines.
Please let me know if there are any questions. Many thanks!
