Summary: "This is a second course on Plane Euclidean Geometry, second in the sense that it is aimed at University students and deals with many of geometrical concepts that they encountered less thoroughly at school. It is based on two main sources, first Euclid's 'The Elements' in ancient Greece, and secondly on a modification of the ground-breaking approach in 1932 of G.D. Birkhoff, which assumed in advanced a knowledge of the real number system and the ordinary algebra based on it. This approach allows for some strong axioms and makes for quite an efficient treatment. The aim is to be unobtrusively rigorous and to give complete proofs. It consists of 12 chapters." --Provided by publisher.
