Abstract

We describe a research project about the teaching of non-Euclidean geometries. Our intent is to show that non-Euclidean geometries can be a tool to promote the understanding of the modern axiomatic method in mathematics, to stimulate students' aptitudes to logical thinking and to allow students to consolidate the knowledge of Euclidean geometry by developing it in a critical way.
