Day 21

Math 444, Monday, 11/15

Sponsor Today's class is brought to you by Triple Line Reflections
Topics Solving equations of isometries An important theorem for Isometries.
Class Schedule
  • Solving ab = cd for c or d. Notes with solutions.
  • Given 3 parallel lines m1, m2, m3, denote the reflections in these lines by M1, M2, M3. The triple reflection M3 M2 M1 is a line reflection. Construct the line n so that N, the line reflection in n satisfies N = M3 M2 M1.
  • An isometry is determined by its value on 3 noncollinear points -- "three thumbtack" theorem More formally, Brown calls this the First Fundamental Theorem of Isometries.. Proof.
  • CIDR evaluation.
