Synopsis
This book provides the reader with an understandable guide to the concepts that have shaped modern geometry starting with the straightforward foundations before exploring the more intricate ideas. The author examines seminal works, starting with Euclid's Elements and working forward, to display how geometry has developed over time and how it has shaped our view of the world. This book is accessible to the thoughtful reader with a basic understanding of mathematics but with an inquisitive mind. The author's clear and concise explanations provide an excellent roadmap through the sometimes-complex ideas and the inclusion of exercises help to reinforce the concepts presented in each chapter. The historical context provided for each concept and theorem allow the reader to grasp the significance of each development and how it contributed to our current understanding of geometry.
