Synopsis

For undergraduate-level courses in Geometry.

Henderson invites students to explore the basic ideas of geometry beyond the formulation of proofs. The text conveys a distinctive approach, stimulating students to develop a broader, deeper understanding of mathematics through active participation―including discovery, discussion, and writing about fundamental ideas. It provides a series of interesting, challenging problems, then encourages students to gather their reasonings and understandings of each problem and discuss their findings in an open forum.
