Plane and Solid Geometry

Abstract

This is a book on Euclidean geometry that covers the standard materialin a completely new way, while also introducing a number of new topicsthat would be suitable as a junior-senior level undergraduate textbook.The author does not begin in the traditional manner with abstractgeometric axioms. Instead, he assumes the real numbers, and beginshis treatment by introducing such modern concepts as a metric space,vector space notation, and groups, and thus lays a rigorous basisfor geometry while at the same time giving the student tools thatwill be useful in other courses.
