Informationen zum Autor Michael L. O'Leary, PhD, is Associate Professor of Mathematics at the College of DuPage in Glenn Ellyn, Illinois.?He is a Member of the American Mathematical Society, the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics, and the Mathematical Society of America.?He received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of California, Irvine in 1994. Klappentext * Highlights from the history of geometry are intertwined with explanations on how to read and write proofs.* This is the first book to present the works of Euclid and Hilbert in addition to other geometers in chronological order, all in an effort to show how the subject matter developed over time.* Hints and both partial and complete solutions are included at the end of the book as an aid for selected exercises.* An important contribution to the teaching of geometry, this book proves that learning to read and write proofs is a crucial aspect of the subject.* This book develops ideas with careful attention to logic and follows the development of the field through time.* An Instructor's Solutions Manual is available upon request. Zusammenfassung * Highlights from the history of geometry are intertwined with explanations on how to read and write proofs. * This is the first book to present the works of Euclid and Hilbert in addition to other geometers in chronological order, all in an effort to show how the subject matter developed over time.
