Riassunto

College Geometry is an approachable text, covering both Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry. This text is directed at the one semester course at the college level, for both pure mathematics majors and prospective teachers. A primary focus is on student participation, which is promoted in two ways: (1) Each section of the book contains one or two units, called Moments for Discovery, that use drawing, computational, or reasoning experiments to guide students to an often surprising conclusion related to section concepts; and (2) More than 650 problems were carefully designed to maintain student interest.

Product Description

This textbook is a one-semester course for maths majors or prospective teachers. It covers Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, and the "discovery" approach guides students to their own conclusions. This edition contains a glossary, and end-of-chapter material - in addition to the current chapter summary and end of chapter true/false questions, there are conceptual exercises which seek to test the students' understanding of the chapter material. Chapter material is reinforced by encouraging students to experiment, whilst appropriate biographies are written throughout the text, to give context to the material that students are learning. A feature - "Our Geometric World" is integrated throughout each chapter, which illustrates the real-world application of the material that students are learning.
