Overview:
The aim of this project is to build an intelligent tutoring system (Advanced Geometry Tutor: AGT) for use in advanced geometry classes. In particular, AGT tutors geometry theorem proving with construction, which is one of the most challenging and creative parts of geometry. Building such an ITS requires an automated geometry theorem prover that can do auxiliary line construction. We have build following systems to achieve the goal of the project: GRAMY : An automated Euclidian geometry theorem prover that can find proofs with construction GRAMY- GUI : A graphical user interface to reify a search strategy (i.e., to make it visible and manipulable) Advanced Geometry Tutor : An intelligent tutoring system for geometry theorem proving with construction

Abstract: Symmetry in Finite Geometry
Symmetry is often described as invariance under a group of transformations. An unspoken assumption about symmetry in Euclidean 3-space is that the transformations involved are continuous. Diamond theory rejects this assumption, and in so doing reveals that Euclidean symmetry may itself be invariant under rather interesting groups of non continuous (and a symmetric) transformations. (These might be called noncontinuous groups, as opposed to so-called discontinuous (or discrete ) symmetry groups. See Weyl's Symmetry For example, the affine group A on the 4-space over the 2-element field has a natural noncontinuous and asymmetric but symmetry-preserving action on the elements of a 4x4 array. ( Details By embedding the 4x4 array in a 4x6 array, then embedding A in a supergroup that acts in a natural way on the larger array, one can, as R. T. Curtis discovered, construct the Mathieu group M which is, according to J. H. Conway, the "most remarkable of all finite groups."

Given the lengths of the sides , and and the semiperimeter of a triangle , Heron's formula gives the area of the triangle as Heron's formula may be stated beautifully using a Cayley-Menger determinant as Another highly symmetrical form is given by (Buchholz 1992). Expressing the side lengths , and in terms of the radii , and ' of the mutually tangent circles centered on the triangle vertices (which define the Soddy circles gives the particularly pretty form Heron's proof (Dunham 1990) is ingenious but extremely convoluted, bringing together a sequence of apparently unrelated geometric identities and relying on the properties of cyclic quadrilaterals and right triangles . Heron's proof can be found in Proposition 1.8 of his work Metrica (ca. 100 BC-100 AD). This manuscript had been lost for centuries until a fragment was discovered in 1894 and a complete copy in 1896 (Dunham 1990, p. 118). More recently, writings of the Arab scholar Abu'l Raihan Muhammed al-Biruni have credited the formula to Heron's predecessor

Pythagorean Theorem
Let's build up squares on the sides of a right triangle. Pythagoras' Theorem then claims that the sum of (the areas of) two small squares equals (the area of) the large one. In algebraic terms, a + b = c where c is the hypotenuse while a and b are the sides of the triangle. The theorem is of fundamental importance in the Euclidean Geometry where it serves as a basis for the definition of distance between two points. It's so basic and well known that, I believe, anyone who took geometry classes in high school couldn't fail to remember it long after other math notions got solidly forgotten. Below is a collection of various approaches to proving the theorem. Some of the proofs are accompanied by Java illustrations, but most have been written in plain HTML.
Remark
  • The statement of the Theorem was discovered on a Babylonian tablet circa 1900-1600 B.C. Whether Pythagoras (c.560-c.480 B.C.) or someone else from his School was the first to discover its proof can't be claimed with any degree of credibility. Euclid's (c 300 B.C.) Elements furnish the first and, later, the standard reference in Geometry. In fact Euclid supplied two very different proofs: the Proposition I.47 (First Book, Proposition 47) and VI.31.

    Ceva's Theorem
    Giovanni Ceva (1648-1734) proved a theorem bearing his name that is seldom mentioned in Elementary Geometry courses. It's a regrettable fact because not only it unifies several other more fortunate statements but its proof is actually as simple as that of the less general theorems. Additionally, the general approach affords, as is often the case, rich grounds for further meaningful explorations.
    Ceva's Theorem
    In a triangle ABC, three lines AD, BE and CF intersect at a single point K if and only if (The lines that meet at a point are said to be concurrent
    Proof 1
    Extend the lines BE and CF beyond the triangle until they meet GH, the line through A parallel to BC. There are several pairs of similar triangles: AHF and BCF, AEG and BCE, AGK and BDK, CDK and AHK. From these and in that order we derive the following proportions: AF/FB=AH/BC (*)
    CE/EA=BC/AG (*)
    AG/BD=AK/DK
    AH/DC=AK/DK from the last two we conclude that AG/BD = AH/DC and, hence, BD/DC = AG/AH (*).

    The Pythagorean Theorem
    click here for the alternative Pythagorean Theorem page The Pythagorean Theorem states: Proof #1: The simplest proof is an algebraic proof using similar triangles ABC, CBX, and ACX (in the diagram): This proof is by Legendre, and was probably originally devised by an ancient Hindu mathematician. Euclid's proof is quite a bit more complicated than that. It is actually surprising that he did not come up with a proof similar to the above. But, his proof is clever, as well. Proof #2: Here is another nice proof: We start with a right triangle (in gold, in the diagram) with sides a, b, and c. We then build a big square, out of four copies of our triangle, as shown at the left. We end up with a square, in the middle, with sides c (we can easily show that this is a square). We now construct a second big square, with identical triangles which are arranged as in the lower part of the diagram. This square has the same area as the square above it. We now sum up the parts of the two big squares:
    These two areas are equal:
    Proof #3: This diagram might look familiar. I've just drawn the squares on the sides of our right triangle. And, I've drawn a line from the right angle of the triangle, perpendicular to the hypotenuse, through the square which is on the hypotenuse. The idea is to prove that the little square (in blue) has the same area as the little rectangle (also in blue). I've named the width of this rectangle, x.

    Pythagoras' Theorem
    Pythagoras Theorem asserts that for a right triangle with short sides of length a and b and long side of length c a + b = c Of course it has a direct geometric formulation. For many of us, this is the first result in geometry that does not seem to be self-evident. This has apparently been a common experience throughout history, and proofs of this result, of varying rigour, have appeared early in several civilizations. We present a selection of proofs, dividing roughly into three types, depending on what geometrical transformations are involved. The oldest known proof Proofs that use shears (including Euclid's). These work because shears of a figure preserve its area. Some of these proofs use rotations, which are also area-preserving. Proofs that use translations . These dissect the large square into pieces which one can rearrange to form the smaller squares. Some of these are among the oldest proofs known. Proofs that use similarity . These are in some ways the simplest. They rely on the concept of ratio, which although intuitively clear, in a rigourous form has to deal with the problem of incommensurable quantities (like the sides and the diagonal of a square). For this reason they are not as elementary as the others.

    Foundations of Greek Geometry
    Michael Tirabassi
    Look at the comments on this paper.
    Introduction
    The birth of Greek astronomy has been attributed to Thales of Miletus. Thales brought from Egypt a number of fundamental geometric principles. He was able to take what he learned, develop upon it, and put it to practical use for the Greeks. Another important contributor to the foundation of Greek geometry was Pythagoras. Pythagoras is credited with the discovery of the famous Pythagorean theorem which equates the sides of a right triangle. Pythagoras and his followers, the Pythagoreans, developed and proved a few significant theorems and may have discovered the existence of irrational numbers. Plato also played a crucial role in laying out the beginnings of Greek geometry. His main contribution was not the in the content of his discoveries, but in his contribution to the philosophy of mathematics.
    Thales
    Thales, an Ionian who was active near the start of the sixth century B.C.,(Herodotis I, 74) has been credited with completing a number of tasks that imply he must have had a basic knowledge of the underlying geometric theorems. Thales was able to determine the height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow at a particular time of day (Heath pp. 128-139). He may have been able to do this in a couple ways. The simplest way would be to measure the shadow of the pyramid at the time of day when an objects shadow was the same length as the height of the object. Thales may have been able to observe that at a certain position of the sun an objects height is equal to the

And each of the surface triangles of spheres is the outer surface of a tetrahedron where the other faces are always congruent with the interior faces of the 3 adjacent tetrahedra. Ergo, you have a 4-face system in which it is clear that any 4 colors could take care of all possible adjacent conditions in such a manner as never to have the same colors occurring between 2 surface triangles, because each of the 3 inner surfaces of any tetrahedron integral 4-color differentiation must be congruent with the same-colored interior faces of the 3 only adjacent tetrahedra; Ergo, the 4th color of each surface adjacent triangle must always be the 1 and only remaining different color of the 4-color set systems.

This illustration depicts one of them. The area of each large square is ( a b . In both, the area of four identical triangles is removed. The remaining areas, a b and c , are equal. Q.E.D. NB: This proof is very simple, but it is not elementary , in the sense that it does not depend solely upon the most basic axioms and theorems of Euclidean geometry . In particular, while it is easy to give a formula for area of triangles and squares, it is not as easy to prove that the area of a square is the sum of areas of its pieces. In fact, proving the necessary properties is harder than proving the Pythagorean theorem itself. For this reason, axiomatic introductions to geometry usually employ another proof based on the similarity of triangles (see proof 6 in the external link). edit

    Similar triangles and the Pythagorean theorem
    Before embarking on trigonometry, there are a couple of things you need to know well about geometry, namely the Pythagorean theorem and similar triangles. Both of these are used over and over in trigonometry.
      (The diagrams in Dave's Short Trig Course are illustrated with a Java applet so that you can drag points around to change the diagram. See About the applet for directions. Drag the points in the images on this page to see what you can do.)
    The Pythagorean theorem
    Let's agree again to the standard convention for labeling the parts of a right triangle. Let the right angle be labeled C and the hypotenuse c. Let A and B denote the other two angles, and a and b the sides opposite them, respectively. C and the hypotenuse c, while A and B denote the other two angles, and a and b the sides opposite them, respectively, often called the legs of a right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the other two sides, that is, c a b This theorem is useful to determine one of the three sides of a right triangle if you know the other two. For instance, if two legs are
