Minicourse #15: "Dynamic geometry with Cabri Geometer"
Organized by James R. King, University of Washington.

The minicourse will use Cabri Geometer software to explore various topics in geometry. This software allows one to construct draggable geometry figures using traditional compass and straightedge as well as transformations, loci, and animations. In addition, one can construct draggable conics and view equations of lines and conics dynamically. The course will begin by showing how topics from intermediate Euclidean geometry can be explored using "drag mode", loci, and animation. Next will come some modeling topics from calculus and linear algebra using dynamic vectors, transformations, and conics and their equations. Finally, some examples from the projective geometry of conics and models for hyperbolic and other nonEuclidean geometries will be explored.
