Designed for a junior-senior level course for mathematics majors, including those who plan to teach in secondary school. The first chapter presents several finite geometries in an axiomatic framework, while Chapter 2 continues the synthetic approach in introducing both Euclids and ideas of non-Euclidean geometry. There follows a new introduction to symmetry and hands-on explorations of isometries that precedes an extensive analytic treatment of similarities and affinities. Chapter 4 presents plane projective geometry both synthetically and analytically, and the new Chapter 5 uses a descriptive and exploratory approach to introduce chaos theory and fractal geometry, stressing the self-similarity of fractals and their generation by transformations from Chapter 3. Throughout, each chapter includes a list of suggested resources for applications or related topics in areas such as art and history, plus this second edition points to Web locations of author-developed guides for dynamic software explorations of the Poincaré model, isometries, projectivities, conics and fractals. Parallel versions are available for "Cabri Geometry" and "Geometers Sketchpad".

This book is the worst book that my professor has ever chose for my math class. The definitions and theorems in this book has lack of explanations, and there are very few examples. But also the solutions of the examples doesn't make sense at all(especially on chapter 3). I want to tell my professor not to get this book for students in future. I really hate this book.

I chose this book to replace the official textbook for a course where we had been using Blau's Foundations in Geometry (which I was not entirely satisfied with.)From Amazon, I was able to look at some excerpts from the first chapter which impressed me, so I ordered the text for the class.The first chapter is well written and talks about the importance of models in showing consistency and independence of axioms. it contains some nice examples.After that the book more or less f..
