Excerpt from Exercises in Concrete Geometry With Supplementary Discussions
Knowledge is useful only as it is used. It is not enough that the pupil learn the abstract principles of mathematics: he should make them real and practical by concrete application. He-may be able to state a pro position correctly, to give all the whys and wherefores of its demonstration in the best logical form, and yet be utterly helpless if required to apply the principle thus obtained to the solution of a simple problem in arithmetic.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a collection of geometrical exercises and problems to encourage concrete application of abstract principles. Following the customary sequence of geometry studies, the author leads students to solve problems of increasing difficulty in the areas of concrete geometry, original demonstration and construction, limits, and solid geometry. The author includes helpful hints and suggestions for original demonstration, treatment of loci and intersection of loci, as well as methods of approaching limits. The final chapter provides step-by-step instructions with diagrams to aid the student in accurately drawing solid geometry figures. This book is an excellent supplementary text for high school geometry classes, providing a unique blend of theoretical and practical approaches to the subject. The author's emphasis on original demonstration and construction encourages students to develop a deeper understanding of geometry and its applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
