| Book | Comment |
|
A. Berele and J. Goldman, Geometry:Theorems and Constructions Publisher: Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-087121-4 |
Chapters 12, 14, 15 will be required for 445. Also, some parts of Chapter 8 and 10. The earlier parts of the book may also serve as a reference for geometry from Math 444 |
|
Stanley Ogilvy, Excursions in Geometry Publisher: Dover, ISBN 0-486-26530 |
This paperback is required for 445. Almost all will be covered. |
|
Marta Sved, Journey into Geometries Publisher: Mathematical Association of America, ISBN 0-88385-500-3 |
This paperback is required for 445. All will be covered. |
|
James King, Geometry Through the Circle with The Geometer's Sketchpad Publisher: Key Curriculum Press, ISBN: 1-55953-047-2 |
This was the 487 text in Autumn. Chapters 9 and 10 will be covered in Winter. |
Geometer's Sketchpad software will continue to play an important role in the course. Geometer's Sketchpad 4 Student Edition is stocked with the textbooks for 445. The package will work with either Macintosh or Windows.
Here are two other books that may be useful for Math 445
|
G. D. Birkhoff and R. Beatley, Basic Geometry Publisher: American Mathematical Society, ISBN 0-8218-2101-6 |
This book will not be used as a text in 445. But it you already have it from Math 444, you may find it useful as a reference for plane geometry. |
|
D. A. Brannan, M. F Esplen, and J. J. Gray, Geometry Publisher: Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-59787-0 |
Useful reference. This book is a good reference for some of the topics in 445, especially affine geometry, projective and spherical geometry. For other topics, the point of view is somewhat different what will be taken in 445. |
