Product Description For sophomore/junior-level courses in Geometry; especially appropriate for students that will go on to teach high-school mathematics. This text comfortably serves as a bridge between lower-level mathematics courses (calculus and linear algebra) and upper-level courses (real analysis and abstract algebra). It fully implements the latest national standards and recommendations regarding geometry for the preparation of high school mathematics teachers. Foundations of Geometry particularly teaches good proof-writing skills, emphasizes the historical development of geometry, and addresses certain issues concerning the place of geometry in human culture.
Customer Reviews: An excellent read.February 6, 2005 Leroy E. Strong 16 out of 22 found this review helpful
This book is by far one of the leading texts in geometry. It contains interesting historical facts as well as an outstanding approach to proofs in an axiomatic system. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pursuing a rigorous endeavor into geometry.

Great for Geometry High Schools TeachersJuly 15, 2008 Carlos A. Rodriguez(Bronx, NY) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a book for a person who wants to know the real proofs of the things they are teaching in high school geometry. You could teach yourself many of these proofs and it also offers great references which one could find in case of any confusion.
