Description
The programme is structured as an exploration of the nature of Non-Euclidean Geometry. It begins by looking at the Euclidean Kaleidoscope, a toy we all remember from childhood. It then moves on to ...explain the properties of Non-Euclidean Geometry. Finally, the two ideas are brought together to explain what is meant by a Non-Euclidean Kaleidoscope. The main purpose of the programme is to help the student with visualisation of difficult mathematical concepts - in particular, Non-Euclidean Geometry.
