Synopsis
Unlock the basics of constructive geometry with clear, hands‑on exercises that build confidence from lines to solids.
This edition guides you through fundamental concepts and practical methods you can apply right away.
The book starts with the building blocks of geometry—lines, angles, and figures formed by straight lines. It moves from simple constructions to area and volume, using concrete steps and measurements. You’ll find worked examples and prompts that help you see how shapes relate to each other, including triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and polygons. The material also covers circles, cylinders, pyramids, and other mathematical bodies, tying together theory and practice.- Learn to draw and compare lines, construct and name angles, and explore their measures using hands‑on activities.
- Practice calculating areas of common figures (triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, polygons) and understanding how parts relate to the whole.
- Explore the circle, its angles, and related figures, plus practical methods for estimating and calculating volumes in solids like pyramids, cones, and cylinders.
- Work with regular and half‑regular bodies, from the cube and tetrahedron to the octahedron and icosahedron, using straightforward formulas and reasoning.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an elementary introduction to geometry. In it, the author seeks to take the reader from simple exercises and build up to more complex problems in a manner that makes geometry more accessible and understandable. The book is divided into eight chapters covering topics from lines and angles to circles, triangles, and polygons. The author's methods minimize the use of deductive arguments and instead focus on inductive learning, moving from simple observations and measurements to more difficult concepts. Many books on geometry employ deductive methods, where readers are asked to accept the truth of statements and work with them to discover more about the subject. This book, however, takes a constructivist approach, guiding readers through the process of discovery and allowing them to come to their conclusions. The author thoroughly explains all of the fundamentals of geometry and gives many practical examples and exercises for readers to try. This allows readers to build a solid foundation in geometry and gives them valuable practice applying the concepts they learn. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330386378_0
