Book Description

0131437003 978-0131437005 January 28, 2005
For sophomore/junior-level courses in Geometry; especially appropriate for students that will go on to teach high-school mathematics. This text comfortably serves as a bridge between lower-level mathematics courses (calculus and linear algebra) and upper-level courses (real analysis and abstract algebra). It fully implements the latest national standards and recommendations regarding geometry for the preparation of high school mathematics teachers. Foundations of Geometry particularly teaches good proof-writing skills, emphasizes the historical development of geometry, and addresses certain issues concerning the place of geometry in human culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read., February 6, 2005
This review is from: Foundations of Geometry (Paperback)
This book is by far one of the leading texts in geometry. It contains interesting historical facts as well as an outstanding approach to proofs in an axiomatic system. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pursuing a rigorous endeavor into geometry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Geometry High Schools Teachers, July 15, 2008
This review is from: Foundations of Geometry (Paperback)
This is a book for a person who wants to know the real proofs of the things they are teaching in high school geometry. You could teach yourself many of these proofs and it also offers great references which one could find in case of any confusion.

This review is from: Foundations of Geometry (Paperback)
This book was not as helpful as I had hoped. It's written very differently from other math textbooks.
