Hyperbolic Geometry - N J Wildberger
This is a complete and relatively elementary course explaining a new, simpler and more elegant theory of non-Euclidean geometry; in particular hyperbolic geometry. It is a purely algebraic approach which avoids transcendental functions like log, sin, tanh etc, relying instead on high school algebra and quadratic equations. The theory is more general, extending beyond the null circle, and connects naturally to Einstein's special theory of relativity.
This course is meant for mathematics majors, bright high school students, high school teachers, engineers, scientists, and others with an interest in mathematics and some basic algebraic skills.
Norman Wildberger is also the discoverer of Rational Trigonometry, an important new direction for classical trigonometry (and which really ought to be revolutionizing mathematics education!!)
His YouTube site Insights into Mathematics at user: njwildberger also contains series on MathFoundations, History of Mathematics, LinearAlgebra, Rational Trigonometry and even one called Elementary Mathematics (K-6) Explained.
Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 0: Introduction 23:13 This is the introductory lecture to a series on hyperbolic geometry which introduces a radically new and improved way of treating the subject, making it more algebraic and logical, with improved computational power and many new theorems. In this lecture we summarize the differences between this UNIVERSAL HYPERBOLIC GEOMETRY and traditional courses taught at universities. We briefly review some of the framework introduced by Lobachevsky, Bolyai and Gauss.
