Description

A first-year geometry teacher at King's College, London, UK guides the reader through the basic concepts and techniques of geometry, from Euclid through to algebraic geometry, in the most personable and friendly, yet stimulating, manner possible. With the stated purpose of exciting students to reason and calculate, the author borrows ideas and techniques from analysis and algebra, which he feels should ideally be studied alongside this material. Suitable for students who took little or no geometry at school, the text includes numerous exercises with answers provided. c. Book News Inc.
