This book is ideal for first-year undergraduate students studying geometry, educators seeking a comprehensive and interactive textbook, and learners interested in connecting mathematical theory with practical experimentation.

Description

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 visualise 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.
