Description

A single-volume compilation of two books explores the construction of geometric proofs. It presents examples of faulty proofs that illustrate common errors in high-school geometry, along with criteria for determining correctness and offering corrections to invalid arguments. The compilation consists of two parts: Proof in Geometry, which discusses the construction of geometric proofs, and Mistakes in Geometric Proofs, which features examples of faulty proofs. Chapters 1 and 3 present the faulty proofs, while chapters 2 and 4 provide comprehensive analyses of the errors. This book is suitable for high-school geometry students who want to improve their understanding of proof construction and error analysis.
