Geometry: Theorems and Constructions by Allan Berele
Unfortunately we do not have a summary for this item at the moment
Geometry
Summary
For undergraduate courses in geometry for Math-ed and Math majors.
College Geometry offers students a deep understanding of the basic results in plane geometry and how they are used. Its unique coverage helps students master Euclidean geometry, in preparation for non-Euclidean geometry.
