This book gives a rigorous treatment of the fundamentals of plane
geometry: Euclidean, spherical, elliptical and hyperbolic. The primary
purpose is to acquaint the reader with the classical results of plane
Euclidean and nonEuclidean geometry, congruence theorems, concurrence
theorems, classification of isometries, angle addition and
trigonometrical formulae. However, the book not only provides students
with facts about and an understanding of the structure of the
classical geometries, but also with an arsenal of computational
techniques for geometrical investigations. The aim is to link
classical and modern geometry to prepare students for further study
and research in group theory, Lie groups, differential geometry,
topology, and mathematical physics. The book is intended primarily for
undergraduate mathematics students who have acquired the ability to
formulate mathematical propositions precisely and to construct and
understand mathematical arguments. Some familiarity with linear
algebra and basic mathematical functions is assumed, though all the
necessary background material is included in the appendices.
