Who knew that straight lines, circles, and area could be so interesting?

If you remember anything about high school geometry class, it’s probably doing proofs. But geometry is more than axioms, postulates, theorems, and proofs. It’s the science of beautiful and extraordinary geometric relationships—most of which is lost in high school classrooms where the focus is on the rigour of logically proving those relationships.

In The Joy of Geometry, Alfred S. Posamentier, a veteran math educator reveals the hidden fascinations of geometry and why this staple of math education is important.

This book awakens readers to the appeal of geometry by placing the focus squarely on its visually compelling features and intrinsic elegance. Who knew that straight lines, circles, and area could be so interesting? Not to mention optical illusions. So, get out the rulers, compasses, or even a software program, and discover geometry for the first time.
