This text is a careful introduction to geometry. While developing geometry for its own sake, the book also emphasizes the links between geometry and other branches of pure and applied mathematics.

Axioms for geometry; Vector geometry; Congruence axioms; Euclidean geometry; Coordinates and equations; Plane geometry; Conics and other curves; Solid geometry; Area and volume; Quadric surfaces; Differential geometry of curves; Differential geometry of surfaces.

'This text is a careful introduction to Euclidean geometry that emphasizes its connections with other subjects. Glimpses of more advanced topics in pure mathematics are balanced by a straightforward treatment of the geometry needed for mechanics and classical applied mathematics.'
