History of Euclidean Geometry and its applications

The project for this class gives the opportunity to the students to explore historical and real-world applications of liberal arts mathematic topics. The project must have an abstract that briefly summarizes the project and the intended outcome or findings. The project must have an introduction that explains the problem and gives relevant background information. The main body should explain in detail the the different details you discovered about the topic as well as the applications. The conclusion must give a concise summary of the findings and future considerations for expansion. The project must include at least three references (books,papers from the literature, or web sources).
You may work in groups of at most threestudents; everyone in a group gets the same grade. A literature review or annotated bibliography (i.e., a bibliography that includes a short summary or analysis of each work) for theproject are due on January 20 via email. This project is minimum 2 pages long (not including pictures or graphs, or references). It is due April 7th via blackboard. Please be original with your work since they will be sent to turnitin for originality. Based on that report the project will be accepted or not.
Topics (please check with me if you are interested in another topic related to our class that is not on this list):
