Synopsis

Master geometry with a comprehensive, beginner‑friendly course.

This classic work is designed to spark lively interest in students of all abilities and to support large classes with a clear, workable structure. It blends core ideas, practical exercises, and helpful appendices to build a solid foundation in plane and solid geometry.

The book presents a complete system of purely elementary geometry, organized to make the subject easy to acquire. It emphasizes accessible explanations, step‑by‑step solutions, and a progression from definitions and theorems to applied problems, while leaving room for learners to pursue more challenging work if they wish.
  • Clear definitions, axioms, and theorems across topics from plane geometry to circles, polygons, and isoperimetry.
  • Extensive exercises that reinforce theorems and techniques, plus varied numerical problems.
  • Appendices on topics like isoperimetry, centers of symmetry, and geometry in space for deeper understanding.
