This site is used as part of the modern geometry independent study course at Washington and Lee University as well as by interested parties outside W&L. Ultimately there will be several such sites, all of which are to be written by students for students. The aims of the these sites will be to stimulate the visualization of mathematical concepts, to present the interplay between classical and modern geometry, to develop and exercise proof writing skills, and to give the student a sense of the unity of mathematics by relating geometry to other fields.
This web site on geometric probability is organized into problems and reading projects. Ideas and definitions at each step in the learning process are motivated and illustrated via interactive and dynamic geometric tools. The theory itself develops through these problems and reading assignments.
Many of these web pages were designed and written by Molly McGinty as part of her R. E. Lee Summer 2003 research project.
