This book contains selected topics from the history of geometry,
with "modern" proofs of some of the results, as well as a fully
modern treatment of selected basic issues in geometry. It is geared
towards the needs of future mathematics teachers. One of my goals
for this book is to open up for the dynamic character of geometry
as such, and to extend an invitation to geometry as a gateway to
mathematics in general. It is unfortunate that today, at a time
when mathematics is more important than ever, phrases like math
avoidance and math anxiety are very much in the public vocabulary.
Making a serious effort to heal these ills is an essential task.
Thus the book also aims at an informed public, interested in making
a new beginning in math For the 2nd edition, some of the historical
material has been expanded and numerous illustrations have been
added, as has a chapter on polyhedra and tessellations and their
symmetries. A large number of exercises with some suggestions for
solutions is also included.
