- Summary
- The purpose of this text is to introduce the student to a wide and extensive body of synthetic geometry. With only the high school courses in plane geometry (including, at best, trigonometry) as prerequisites, the student may become acquainted with a large body of more or less connected geometric doctrine. Beautiful in its simplicity, it concerns the geometry of the triangle and the circle, and requires only the known Euclidean concepts. It is not the purpose of this book to be exhaustive, or even to explore the whole field, but to call the attention of the student to the existence of this geometric doctrine, which, in spite of its elementary character, is by no means well known to mathematicians in general. - Preface.
