Excerpt from Introductory Modern Geometry of Point, Ray, and Circle, Vol. 1
D. Space is continuous. There are no gaps nor holes in it, where it would be impossible for a body to be. A body may move about in Space anywhere and everywhere, ever so much or ever so little. Space is itself simply where a body may be, and a body may be anywhere.
E. Space is triply extended, or has three dimensions. This important fact needs careful explication.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the field of geometry, which is the mathematical study of space and form. After reading this book, you will have gained a solid understanding of geometry as it was understood by Ancient Greek thinkers like Euclid. The author begins with the basic concepts of points, lines, and angles. From there, it moves on to more advanced topics such as triangles, circles, and geometric constructions. The book is written in a clear, concise style that is accessible to students of all levels. Geometry is a fundamental mathematical discipline that has been studied for centuries, first formally defined in Euclid's Elements, which presented a logical and systematic exposition of the subject and laid the groundwork for much of modern Western mathematical thought. It is heavily used in architecture, engineering, art, and the sciences, aiding humanity's understanding of the world and its workings. The author shows that by understanding the simple geometric relationships between points, lines, and angles, the reader can learn to solve a wide range of problems in geometry that are otherwise mysterious or complex. Ultimately, the goal of this book is to help students develop the skills they need to think geometrically and to apply geometric principles to other areas of mathematics and the real world.
