About this Item

Hardcover. For over two millennia, the complexities of elementary geometry have challenged learners, burdened by the intricacies of auxiliary graphics and cumbersome calculations. Inspired by Leibniz's query, this book introduces a groundbreaking method: point geometry. By operating directly on points, it integrates the strengths of coordinate, vector, and mass point methods, simplifying operations and problem-solving.Central to this method is the identity approach, which streamlines complex problems into concise equations, unlocking multiple propositions with ease. Through meticulously crafted examples, readers are invited to explore the joy of mathematical thinking.Beyond mathematics, point geometry holds promise for artificial intelligence, offering a simple yet rich knowledge representation and reasoning method. With most solutions generated by computer programs, the potential for simplifying reasoning methods is immense, paving the way for a brighter future in both education and AI advancement.In this ambitious endeavor, the authors seek to simplify knowledge representation and reasoning, reduce the burden of learning, and accelerate the progress of artificial intelligence. This book is not just a guide to geometry; it's a catalyst for transformative thinking and discovery. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
