		Conics in Perspective All conic sections can be found as slices of some cone and are therefore perspectively equivalent. In this program, this result is used to prove an interesting theorem in two-dimensional geometry. Produced by the Open University. (25 minutes)(more details)		DVD $99.95
		Symmetry Counts This program introduces the idea of symmetry of three-dimensional objects, including a review of the symmetry of two-dimensional figures. Produced by the Open University. (25 minutes)(more details)		DVD $99.95
		Affine Geometry This program demonstrates how theorem-proving becomes easier when geometers have access to affine geometry. Produced by the Open University. (25 minutes)(more details)		DVD $99.95
		Fourier Coefficients The technique of Fourier analysis is considered in terms of a vector space of fluctuations. Produced by the Open University. (24 minutes)(more details)		DVD $99.95
		Maps This program uses models and animations to investigate a variety of plane maps of the earth. Produced by the Open University. (25 minutes)(more details)		DVD $99.95
