Textbooks:
 Required:
  • Axiomatic Geometry by John M. Lee
  • Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding by Harold Jacobs
  • Euclid's Elements (one of the following):
    • The complete text of Euclid's Elements online, with interactive Java applets illustrating the propositions.
    • All 13 books of Euclid's Elements, edited by Dana Densmore (Green Lion Press, 2002). This is an excellent edition, and I recommend purchasing it.
    • Books 1 and 2 of Euclid's Elements are available in an inexpensive Dover edition. This edition is less convenient than the Green Lion one, because it's cluttered with a lot of commentary by Heath, which is not as relevant for our purposes.

The books are (or soon will be) available for purchase (new and used) in the U Bookstore, and are on reserve in the Math Research Library (PDL C-306).
