Description

Geometry: Plane and Fancy by David A. Singer is an engaging exploration of geometry that delves into lesser-known areas while maintaining connections to Euclid's parallel postulate. The author presents alternative approaches to Euclid's fifth postulate, revealing interesting patterns and symmetries. This book incorporates algebraic concepts from complex and hypercomplex numbers, graph theory, and topology, making it accessible despite its advanced topics. Suitable for students with a foundation in Euclidean geometry, this text offers a lively exposition that will appeal to both beginners and mathematicians. With interesting problems scattered throughout, Geometry: Plane and Fancy can be covered in a one-semester course, potentially as a follow-up to a Euclidean geometry course.
