Meyer's Geometry and Its Applications, Second Edition, combines traditional geometry with current ideas to present a modern approach that is grounded in real-world applications. It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, and introduces axiomatic, Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and examples throughout and includes historical notes in many chapters.

The Second Edition of Geometry and Its Applications is a significant text for any college or university that focuses on geometry's usefulness in other disciplines. It is especially appropriate for engineering and science majors, as well as future mathematics teachers.

Realistic applications integrated throughout the text, including (but not limited to):

Symmetries of artistic patterns
Physics
Robotics
Computer vision
Computer graphics
Stability of architectural structures
Molecular biology
Medicine
Pattern recognition

Historical notes included in many chapters
