The principal aim is to develop a working knowledge of some of the deeper aspects of Euclidean geometry, with an understanding of how groups of transformations cast light on the basic mathematical property of symmetry.

It builds on material in earlier years on geometry and linear algebra, combining these areas in understanding Euclidean and projective geometry and geometrical symmetry. Although it has applications in other areas, especially physics and computer graphics, its main aim is pure understanding of geometry and abstract algebra.
