About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book contains excellent illustrative diagrams, a reasonable selection of exercises, clear exposition, and fair number of worked examples and proofs, and a superb index. … I found the book delightful. … If you love Euclidean geometry you will certainly appreciate this book as part of your collection. The book would also make an excellent text for those in physics, chemistry that deal with crystallography, and other practical aspects of Euclidean geometry." (Collin Carbno, The Mathematical Association of America, July, 2009)
"This book is a masterful presentation of both plane and solid geometry. … Aarts emphasizes mathematical proof throughout the presentation, not only to justify various properties but to also enhance insight. The numerous problems … are frequently challenging and will be of interest to both beginning students and readers with a strong mathematical background. Readability is enhanced by over 250 figures. The work concludes with … a list of 75 references. Summing Up: Recommended. Professional and academic readers, lower-division undergraduate and above." (D. P. Turner, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), July, 2009)
