19	Objective of the Course:	After specifying the location of the world in the universe, views on the shape of the world and measurements made to find the size of the world are explained chronologically. Following these issues, the world's physical features, movements and these movements to know
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	In particular, the entire universe and solar system and the functioning of these systems are discussed, the shape of the Earth, its size, physical properties (volume, density, mass, temperature, magnetic property), the structural properties of the earth, the movements of the Earth (around itself, around the sun and polar movements), the location of the Earth, time issues are discussed.

Learning Outcomes:

1	By defining mathematical geography, mathematics knows the topics explored by geography;
