Content
The lecture gives an introduction to elementary geometry in Euclidian and non-Euclidian space and its mathematical foundations. We get to know Euclidean, hyperbolic, and projective geometry as examples of incidence geometries, and study their symmetry groups.
The next main topic is the axiomatic characterization of the Euclidean plane. The focus is on the story
of the fifth Euclidian axiom (and the attempts to get rid of it).
