This instructional school is aimed at college and university teachers, specializing in mathematics. We aim to cover the topic of isometry from several different points of view. Isometry (and symmtery) is an ubiquitous concept in science that is especially important in mathematics. We want to highlight seemingly different manifestations of isometry in three separate contexts, broadly connected to the three classical geometries: plane, hyperbolic and spherical.

8 Isometries of Linear Spaces
This part of the school deals with distance and angle preserving maps in R 2 . We shall discuss isometries in R 2 and complex formula of plane isometries, orientations, finite group of plane isometries as well as isometries in R n We will talk about matrix groups, permutation groups and classification of isometries. We will discuss (orthogonal) projection maps and its properties. Finally we discuss finite group of isometries in R 3 and classification of conics under isometries.

8 Conformal Symmetries
This part of the school deals with hyperbolicity of planar domains. We start with classical Schwarz lemma, Schwarz-Pick lemma and computation of the automorphism group of the unit disk. We discuss Poincaré metric on D in details. Schwarz lemma will be revisited from the viewpoint of the Poincaré metric and its curvature. Some complex analysis results like Liouville’s Theorem and Montel’s Theorem will be presented from a geometric viewpoint. A proof of the big Picard Theorem will be discussed.
We shall also discuss some new invariant metrics, i.e., Caratheodory and Kobayashi metrics and their isometries on planar domains. We shall also analyze whether auto-morphisms fo the domain give rise to isometries. Hyperbolicity of the domain will be discussed in detail.

8 Isometries & Gaussian Curvature
This part of the school deals with isometries of surfaces embedded in R3.We start with the basics of curves and surfaces in R3,revisiting osculating circles (and planes),Serret-Frenet formula. We discuss curvature (Gaussian and mean) of surfaces in various forms. The first and second fundamental form will be discussed, followed by various implications of the sign of the Gaussian curvature. We shall talk about Gauss-Bonnet theorem and the local-global phenomenon it illustrates. We discuss isometries of a surface, geodesics and some relevant examples (for the three basic prototypes).
