Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisStahl's Second Edition continues to provide students with the elementary and constructive development of modern geometry that brings them closer to current geometric research. At the same time, repeated use is made of high school geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, thus reinforcing students' understanding of these disciplines as well as enhancing their perception of mathematics as a unified endeavor. This distinct approach makes these advanced geometry principles accessible to undergraduates and graduates alike. © 2008 256 pages, Stahl's Second Edition continues to provide students with the elementary and constructive development of modern geometry that brings them closer to current geometric research.
