Description for Methods of Geometry
Hardcover. Exceptionally well-written, with engaging historical and bibliographic notes, Methods of Geometry sets serious competition to similar titles in the field. It downplays the theory while emphasizing a practical, accessible, proof-oriented approach. Num Pages: 486 pages, bibliography. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (UA) A / AS level; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 243 x 166 x 33. Weight in Grams: 882.
A practical, accessible introduction to advanced geometryExceptionally well-written and filled with historical andbibliographic notes, Methods of Geometry presents a practical andproof-oriented approach. The author develops a wide range ofsubject areas at an intermediate level and explains how theoriesthat underlie many fields of advanced mathematics ultimately leadto applications in science and engineering. Foundations, basicEuclidean geometry, and transformations are discussed in detail andapplied to study advanced plane geometry, polyhedra, isometries,similarities, and symmetry. An excellent introduction to advancedconcepts as well as a reference to techniques for use inindependent study and research, Methods of Geometry alsofeatures:

Reviews for Methods of Geometry
"It should be emphasized that the book is filled with historicaland bibliographic notes, good motivations and a number ofexercises. Altogether, it can be regarded as a good approach to aspecial part of geometry on an intermediate level." (ZentralblattMath, Volume 955, No 5, 2001) "Fine interweaving of history, foundations, and geometry.... Usefulas a source of exercises." (American Mathematical ... Read more
