An introduction to geometry in the plane, both Euclidean and hyperbolic, this book is designed for an undergraduate course in geometry. With its patient approach, and plentiful illustrations, it will also be a stimulating read for anyone comfortable with the language of mathematical proof. While the material within is classical, it brings together topics that are not generally found together in books at this level,  Read more...
