About This Book

Exploring Geometry, Second Edition promotes student engagement with the beautiful ideas of geometry. Every major concept is introduced in its historical context and connects the idea with real-life. A system of experimentation followed by rigorous explanation and proof is central. Exploratory projects play an integral role in this text. Students develop a better sense of how to prove a result and visualize connections between statements, making these connections real. They develop the intuition needed to conjecture a theorem and devise a proof of what they have observed.

Features:

  • Second edition of a successful textbook for the first undergraduate course
  • Every major concept is introduced in its historical context and connects the idea with real life
  • Focuses on experimentation
  • Projects help enhance student learning
  • All major software programs can be used; free software from author
