Synopsis
This is a guided tour of geometry, from Euclid through to algebraic geometry for students with little or no geometry studies. It shows how mathematicians use a variety of techniques to tackle problems, and links geometry to other branches of mathematics. It is a teaching text, with large numbers of exercises woven into the exposition. Topics covered include: ruler and compass constructions, transformations, triangle and circle theorems, classification of isometries and groups of isometries in dimensions 2 and 3, Platonic solids, conics, similarities, affine, projective and Mobius transformations, non-Euclidean geometry, projective geometry, and the beginnings of algebraic geometry.
