使修課同學瞭解幾何學在文明中所扮演的角色，並學習相關的幾何概念與方法。對於應用數學系的同學而言，修習本課程將有助於以宏觀的角度整合在數學專業學科所學習到的專業知識; 對於其他學系選修本課程的同學，能藉此融通過去所學數學的發展歷史與影響，並學習到數學嚴謹的思考模式與方法，亦為本課程的重要目標。而透過分組討論、學習與發表，也希望培養修課同學溝通與科學敘事的能力。This course enables students to understand the role of geometry in civilization and learn related geometric concepts and methods. For students from the Department of Applied Mathematics, taking this course will help integrate the professional knowledge learned in mathematics majors from a macro perspective; for students from other departments taking this course, they can use it to integrate the mathematics they have learned in the past. The development history and influence of mathematics, and learning the rigorous thinking patterns and methods of mathematics are also important goals of this course. Through group discussions, learning and presentation, we also hope to cultivate the communication and scientific narrative abilities of course students.
