Clear, concise geometry learning for the classroom and independent study.

This abridged edition of Elements of Geometry presents the essentials of plane and solid geometry with practical, student-friendly methods.

This edition is designed for schools whose course work needs a compact text. It opens with a brief, direct introduction and moves straight into concepts and problems as they arise. Definitions are introduced as needed, rather than in long preface lists, and an alphabetic index helps with quick reference. In space geometry, the book uses half-tone engravings from actual Yale models alongside simple skeleton diagrams to reinforce understanding.
What you’ll experience

A practical, step-by-step approach to geometry concepts, built for easier study and quick reference.
Clear demonstrations and a steady progression from basic figures to more complex shapes.
Plenty of practice with a balanced mix of exercises, construction problems, and computation tasks.
Visual learning aids, including real-model diagrams and simple, copy-ready figures.

What’s inside

A thorough treatment of fundamental concepts, geometric axioms, and the language of proofs.
Separate focus areas for plane figures, circles, proportions, areas, and three-dimensional solids.
A range of problems that reinforce understanding and encourage active learning.
An appendix of exercises and a carefully arranged index for quick topic lookup.

Ideal for readers of classic geometry who want a compact, reliable reference that covers core ideas without overwhelming detail. It’s well suited for students, teachers, and anyone building a solid foundation in geometry.
