Download or read book Practical Geometry Part One written by Kwang S. Ko and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study guide written primarily for middle and high schoolers in order for them to learn relevant math concepts at their level. There is an introduction before each chapter that describes what will be covered. Chapter 1 introduces basic geometry, and analyzes different kinds of angles and establishes fundamental terms about geometry. Chapter 2 discusses inductive and deductive reasoning, the conditional statement and its various forms, and the properties of equality for solving algebraic equation. Chapter 3 deals with the perpendicular and parallel lines including the properties of perpendicular and parallel lines that are given with distinctive pairs of angle relationships. Chapter 4 covers congruent triangles classified by their sides and angles, congruent figures and their corresponding parts are identified, and how to prove triangles to be congruent through different postulates and theorems. Chapter 5 instructs on triangles, which discusses the properties of perpendicular and angle bisectors, the properties of medians and altitudes of triangles, and the properties of midsegments of triangles. Chapter 6 analyzes quadrilaterals based on limited information, classifies the different kinds of quadrilaterals, and covers the different properties of quadrilaterals, which includes, but are not limited to parallelograms, squares, and trapezoids. Each concept has a step-by-step explanation on how to approach the problems. Afterwards, there is a self- test that assesses the knowledge of the student. And at the end of the book, there is a review test that grasps the student's knowledge all the previous chapters.
Download or read book College Geometry written by Nathan Altshiller-Court and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated into many languages, this book was in continuous use as the standard university-level text for a quarter-century, until it was revised and enlarged by the author in 1952. World-renowned writer and researcher Nathan Altshiller-Court (1881–1968) was a professor of mathematics at the University of Oklahoma for more than thirty years. His revised introduction to modern geometry offers today's students the benefits of his many years of teaching experience. The first part of the text stresses construction problems, proceeding to surveys of similitude and homothecy, properties of the triangle and the quadrilateral, and harmonic division. Subsequent chapters explore the geometry of the circle — including inverse points, orthogonals, coaxals, and the problem of Apollonius and triangle geometry, focusing on Lemoine and Brocard geometry, isogonal lines, Tucker circles, and the orthopole. Numerous exercises of varying degrees of difficulty appear throughout the text.

Download or read book Classical Topics in Discrete Geometry written by Károly Bezdek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometry is a classical core part of mathematics which, with its birth, marked the beginning of the mathematical sciences. Thus, not surprisingly, geometry has played a key role in many important developments of mathematics in the past, as well as in present times. While focusing on modern mathematics, one has to emphasize the increasing role of discrete mathematics, or equivalently, the broad movement to establish discrete analogues of major components of mathematics. In this way, the works of a number of outstanding mathema- cians including H. S. M. Coxeter (Canada), C. A. Rogers (United Kingdom), and L. Fejes-T oth (Hungary) led to the new and fast developing eld called discrete geometry. One can brie y describe this branch of geometry as the study of discrete arrangements of geometric objects in Euclidean, as well as in non-Euclidean spaces. This, as a classical core part, also includes the theory of polytopes and tilings in addition to the theory of packing and covering. D- crete geometry is driven by problems often featuring a very clear visual and applied character. The solutions use a variety of methods of modern mat- matics, including convex and combinatorial geometry, coding theory, calculus of variations, di erential geometry, group theory, and topology, as well as geometric analysis and number theory.

Download or read book Introduction to Hyperbolic Geometry written by Arlan Ramsay and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to hyperbolic and differential geometry that provides material in the early chapters that can serve as a textbook for a standard upper division course on hyperbolic geometry. For that material, the students need to be familiar with calculus and linear algebra and willing to accept one advanced theorem from analysis without proof. The book goes well beyond the standard course in later chapters, and there is enough material for an honors course, or for supplementary reading. Indeed, parts of the book have been used for both kinds of courses. Even some of what is in the early chapters would surely not be nec essary for a standard course. For example, detailed proofs are given of the Jordan Curve Theorem for Polygons and of the decomposability of poly gons into triangles, These proofs are included for the sake of completeness, but the results themselves are so believable that most students should skip the proofs on a first reading. The axioms used are modern in character and more "user friendly" than the traditional ones. The familiar real number system is used as an in gredient rather than appearing as a result of the axioms. However, it should not be thought that the geometric treatment is in terms of models: this is an axiomatic approach that is just more convenient than the traditional ones.
