Exploring Spherical and Hyperbolic Geometry
by
Hanna Bennett
UT Austin
NOA 1.116
In this session, Hanna reviewed the axioms of Euclidean geometry. Then we built a model of a hyperbolic soccer ball, and used it to explore some questions about Hyperbolic geometry. Finally, using a large ball as a model, questions about spherical geometry were considered. See the handout below for a template and instructions on building your own hyperbolic model, and some questions to consider as you explore these different geometries.
