Synopsis

Principles of Modern Geometry: A practical guide to plane and spherical figures

This text surveys fundamental ideas in geometry and shows how they apply to both flat planes and curved surfaces. Written for junior students, it blends clear explanations with a wealth of exercises and questions to deepen understanding.

This edition focuses on key techniques like projection, harmonic relationships, and the study of conics and spherical figures. It builds from basic concepts to more advanced topics, helping readers see connections between theory and practical problem solving.
  • Learn how geometric projections translate three-dimensional figures into planar representations
  • Explore properties of plane and spherical conics, including tangent and focal relationships
  • Practice with a rich set of questions and exercises designed for self‑study or classroom use
  • Develop problem‑solving skills through worked examples and applied applications
Ideal for readers seeking a solid foundation in geometry and its real‑world applications, including students and instructors looking for structured practice with a historical perspective.
