Master the foundations of three‑dimensional geometry with a clear, logically arranged treatise.

The Elements of Solid Geometry, by R. Baldwin Hayward, presents solid geometry as a coherent system built from simple postulates and definitions. It guides readers from basic space concepts to key figures like polyhedra, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and spheres, with an emphasis on logical deduction and practical understanding.

The book frames its subject with a easy-to-follow structure, including a preliminary discussion on geometry’s postulates, sections on regular and non‑regular solids, and a thorough treatment of volumes and symmetry. It also extends to spherical surface geometry to connect plane geometry with three‑dimensional space.
What you’ll experience

Clear definitions and classifications of solids, including prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and polyhedra
Step-by-step development of volume formulas and methods for measuring solid figures
Explanations of symmetry and how it helps visualize figures in space
A bridge to spherical geometry and its relation to plane geometry

Ideal for students and instructors who want a solid, self‑contained introduction to elementary solid geometry, with emphasis on deduction and clarity.
