Publisher's Synopsis
An Introduction to Plane Geometry: Explorations and Explanations, was created for the adult learner who lacks a background in geometry, compass and straight edge constructions, logic, and proof. Originally created for the College of Lake County, a community college in Illinois, this is a proof-based, discovery-oriented, applications text. Most chapters contain a final section entitled Observe Your World in which the connections between geometry and nature, art, architecture, speech, and personal attitudes are emphasized. It also contains historical highlights and many supplemental projects. Since it is intended for the student who is just beginning a study of geometry, this textbook is written with a casual, personal tone and a bit of levity.
