Elementary College Geometry
by Henry Africk
Publisher: CUNY Academic Works 2013
Number of pages: 376
Description:
This text is intended for a brief introductory course in plane geometry. It covers the topics from elementary geometry that are most likely to be required for more advanced mathematics courses. The only prerequisite is a semester of algebra. The emphasis is on applying basic geometric principles to the numerical solution of problems. For this purpose the number of theorems and definitions is kept small.
