Transforming the disk model of hyperbolic geometry to the upper half-plane model
The Teaching of Mathematics, XX (2017) no. 2, p. 74
The isomorphism between the two Poincaré models of Hyperbolic Geometry is usually proved through a formula using the Möbius transformation. In this article, we present a geometrical procedure which transforms one model onto the other and leads to these transformations. This can be utilized in the educational process.
