This textbook teaches the transformations of plane Euclidean
geometry through problems, offering a transformation-based
perspective on problems that have appeared in recent years at
mathematics competitions around the globe, as well as on some
classical examples and theorems. It is based on the combined
teaching experience of the authors (coaches of several Mathematical
Olympiad teams in Brazil, Romania and the USA) and presents
comprehensive theoretical discussions of isometries, homotheties
and spiral similarities, and inversions, all illustrated by
examples and followed by myriad problems left for the reader to
solve. These problems were carefully selected and arranged to
introduce students to the topics by gradually moving from basic to
expert level. Most of them have appeared in competitions such as
Mathematical Olympiads or in mathematical journals aimed at an
audience interested in mathematics competitions, while some are
fundamental facts of mathematics discussed in the framework of
geometric transformations. The book offers a global view of the
geometric content of today's mathematics competitions, bringing
many new methods and ideas to the attention of the public. Talented
high school and middle school students seeking to improve their
problem-solving skills can benefit from this book, as well as high
school and college instructors who want to add nonstandard
questions to their courses. People who enjoy solving elementary
math problems as a hobby will also enjoy this work.
