Geometry and Its Applications (Textbooks in Mathematics)

This unique textbook combines traditional geometry presents a contemporary approach that is grounded in real-world applications. It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, introduces axiomatic, Euclidean and non-Euclidean, and transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and examples throughout. The Third Edition offers many updates, including expaning on historical notes, Geometry and Its Applications is a significant text for any college or university that focuses on geometry's usefulness in other disciplines. It is especially appropriate for engineering and science majors, as well as future mathematics teachers.

The Third Edition streamlines the treatment from the previous two editions

Treatment of axiomatic geometry has been expanded

Nearly 300 applications from all fields are included

An emphasis on computer science-related applications appeals to student interest

Many new excercises keep the presentation fresh
