Geometry for College Students (Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts) by I. Martin Isaacs
**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
Historically, students have been learning to think mathematically and to write proofs by studying Euclidean geometry. One of the challenges many mathematics students face occurs after they complete their study of basic calculus and linear algebra, and they start taking courses where they are expected to write proofs. In the author's opinion, geometry is still the best way to make the transition from elementary to advanced mathematics. The book begins with a thorough review of high school geometry, then goes on to discuss special points associated with triangles, circles and certain associated lines, Ceva's theorem, vector techniques of proof, and compass-and-straightedge constructions.
