Description
Book SynopsisExceptionally well-written, with engaging historical and bibliographic notes, Methods of Geometry sets serious competition to similar titles in the field. It downplays the theory while emphasizing a practical, accessible, proof-oriented approach.
Trade Review"It should be emphasized that the book is filled with historicaland bibliographic notes, good motivations and a number ofexercises. Altogether, it can be regarded as a good approach to aspecial part of geometry on an intermediate level." (ZentralblattMath, Volume 955, No 5, 2001)
"Fine interweaving of history, foundations, and geometry.... Usefulas a source of exercises." (American Mathematical Monthly, November2001)
