Explore two of mathematics' most famous theorems in this elementary projective geometry lecture. Learn about Pappus' theorem from 300 AD, which can be appreciated with just paper, pen, and a straightedge, and Pascal's theorem from the 1600s, which incorporates a circle. Discover how these fundamental concepts can enhance primary school mathematics education. Gain insights on reading mathematical texts, and delve into the life of Blaise Pascal. Perfect for primary school students and educators looking to expand their understanding of foundational geometric principles.
