About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This small book includes Ceva’s and Menelaus’s theorems, the nine-point circle and Euler line, configuration theorems, Morley’s triangle, inequalities for elements in a triangle … . The arguments are not only geometric or trigonometric ones but also different coordinate systems are considered such as barycentric or trilinear coordinates in relation to a given triangle. … The book is very useful for teachers and teacher students who want to be inspired by the results of elementary geometry." (Herbert Hotje, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1159, 2009)
