Excerpt from Elementary Synthetic Geometry: Of the Point, Line and Circle in the Plane
The present work is a result of the Author's experience in teaching Geometry to Junior Classes in the University for a series of years. It is not an edition of "Euclid's Elements," and has in fact little relation to that celebrated ancient work except in the subject matter.
The work differs also from the majority of modern treatises on Geometry in several respects.
The point, the line, and the curve lying in a common plane are taken as the geometric elements of Plane Geometry, and any one of these or any combination of them is defined as a geometric plane figure Thus a triangle is not the three-cornered portion of the plane inclosed within its sides, but the combination of the three points and three lines forming what are usually termed its vertices and its sides and sides produced.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores fundamental ideas of synthetic geometry in a way that brings the subject to life. The author approaches classic ideas from a new perspective to reflect a modern context on historic themes. Establishing a geometric line as a concept of length abstracted from every other quality, the author explores key concepts of angles, congruence of triangles, equality of figures, and plane gure dimensions. These ideas are situated within the broader context of space, dened as the limitless expanse capable of length and direction in every direction. Moving from the classic denitions of points and lines, the author leads readers on a journey through the theorems that govern these elements and the gures they form, delving into the properties of isosceles and equilateral triangles, and concluding with an examination of the relationship between angles and segments. In this way, the book provides a rich and engaging exploration of geometry that is both accessible and illuminating.
