Foundations of Geometry is a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental principles that define geometric structures and reasoning. This book delves into the axiomatic foundations of geometry, examining both classical Euclidean principles and modern non-Euclidean developments. It provides a rigorous yet accessible approach to understanding how geometric concepts are built from logical postulates and theorems.
Covering topics such as axiomatic systems, geometric constructions, transformations, metric and projective geometry, and the role of geometry in higher mathematics, this book bridges the gap between elementary concepts and advanced theoretical frameworks. Special emphasis is given to Hilbert's axioms, the parallel postulate, and the evolution of geometric thought from ancient times to modern mathematical formalism.
Designed for students, educators, and professionals in mathematics, Foundations of Geometry serves as both an introductory guide and a reference for deeper study. Through clear explanations, proofs, and problem sets, it equips readers with the tools to develop a strong geometric intuition and a solid mathematical foundation.
