It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, and introduces axiomatic, Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and examples throughout and includes historical notes in many chapters.
The Second Edition of Geometry and Its Applications is a significant text for any college or university that focuses on geometry's usefulness in other disciplines. It is especially appropriate for engineering and science majors, as well as future mathematics teachers.
- Realistic applications integrated throughout the text, including (but not limited to):
- Symmetries of artistic patterns
- Physics
- Robotics
- Computer vision
- Computer graphics
- Stability of architectural structures
- Molecular biology
- Medicine
- Pattern recognition
- Historical notes included in many chapters
