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 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 Introduction to Geometry and Topology written by Werner Ballmann and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to topology, differential topology, and differential geometry. It is based on manuscripts refined through use in a variety of lecture courses. The first chapter covers elementary results and concepts from point-set topology. An exception is the Jordan Curve Theorem, which is proved for polygonal paths and is intended to give students a first glimpse into the nature of deeper topological problems. The second chapter of the book introduces manifolds and Lie groups, and examines a wide assortment of examples. Further discussion explores tangent bundles, vector bundles, differentials, vector fields, and Lie brackets of vector fields. This discussion is deepened and expanded in the third chapter, which introduces the de Rham cohomology and the oriented integral and gives proofs of the Brouwer Fixed-Point Theorem, the Jordan-Brouwer Separation Theorem, and Stokes's integral formula. The fourth and final chapter is devoted to the fundamentals of differential geometry and traces the development of ideas from curves to submanifolds of Euclidean spaces. Along the way, the book discusses connections and curvature--the central concepts of differential geometry. The discussion culminates with the Gauß equations and the version of Gauß's theorema egregium for submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension. This book is primarily aimed at advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics and is intended as the template for a one- or two-semester bachelor's course.
