Présentation de l'éditeur
The movement for reform in the teaching of geometry now seems to have crystallized into certain rather definite conclusions. In rewriting this book the authors have sought to include the improvements resulting from this movement and at the same time to keep what was best in the older texts. First among the improvements may be mentioned practical applications of geometry to everyday life. These are a feature of the new book. For example, see exercise 7on page 161, a practical problem which should be brought to the notice of all interested in the game of football. A mong other improvements may be mentioned informal proofs of certain propositions which, though obvious even to the beginner, usage forbids stating as axioms; also, the relegating of difficult theoretical topics like limits to the end of the book, where the incommensurable cases are all treated together. In many respects the older treatment of limits is obscure and sometimes misleading. It is believed that the method here adopted is more defensible from every point of view. The extreme inductive method of twenty years ago is introduced here only in a modified form. Theorems are proved completely, especially in the early part of the course. Propositions quoted in the proofs are at first given in full, later in part, and still later only by reference. After theorems have thus been quoted several times the pupil is left to his own devices in supplying the reasons. A mong the features of the older books which have been retained are the orderly and clear arrangement of the page and the simplicity of language in the definitions and proofs.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
