Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries Summary

Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries by Helena Noronha

For use in upper-level undergraduate courses in Geometry.

This text develops a one or two term, self-contained treatment of classical Euclidean geometry through both axiomatic and analytic methods. The analytical methods help students visualize abstract theorems. Much of the content has been written to the needs of students with a secondary teaching option, yet the text will also appeal to undergraduate mathematics majors interested in geometry. Concise and well-organized, Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry prompts students to build geometry into their calculus and linear algebra knowledge.
