Description
Exploring Geometry, Second Edition introduces students to the beautiful ideas of geometry in its historical context. Real-life connections are made to every major concept, helping students understand how these concepts apply to everyday situations.
The text uses a system of experimentation followed by rigorous explanation and proof, with exploratory projects playing an integral role. Students develop their skills in proving results and visualizing connections between statements, making these connections real. They also learn to conjecture theorems and devise proofs for what they have observed.
This textbook is accompanied by free software from the author, allowing students to use all major software programs. The second edition of a successful undergraduate course text, it provides a comprehensive introduction to geometry.
