This book is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the fundamental principles of geometry. Geometry is often described as the study of shapes and their properties, but this description only hints at the breadth of the subject. Through hands-on exercises, this book provides readers with a deep understanding of geometrical concepts that have shaped the development of mathematics, science and the world around us. The author traces the origins of geometry in ancient times and explains how a slow and inductive process of discovery gave us the methods that are still used for teaching geometry today. Although some may consider geometry as a static subject, this book demonstrates how geometry is continually evolving because new applications of its principles are always being discovered.
