Sommario/riassunto: "Written by well-known mathematical problem solvers, Modern Geometry features up-to-date and applicable coverage of the wide spectrum of modern geometry and aids readers in learning the art of logical reasoning, modeling, and proof. With its reader-friendly approach, this undergraduate text features: self-contained coverage of modern geometry, provides a large selection of solved exercises to aid in reader comprehension, contains material that can be tailored for a one-, two-, or three-semester sequence, and provides a wide range of fully worked exercises throughout"--
