Book Description
Geometry aims to describe the world around us. It is central to many branches of mathematics and physics, and offers a whole range of views on the universe. This is an introduction to the ideas of geometry and includes generous helpings of simple explanations and examples. The book is based on many years teaching experience so is thoroughly class-tested, and as prerequisites are minimal, it is suited to newcomers to the subject. There are plenty of illustrations; chapters end with a collection of exercises, and solutions are available for teachers.
