It has been taught to students for more than two millennia as a model of logical thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book tells the story of how the axiomatic method has progressed from Euclid’s time to ours, as a way of understanding what mathematics is, how we read and evaluate mathematical arguments, and why mathematics has achieved the level of certainty it has. It is designed primarily for advanced undergraduates who plan to teach secondary school geometry, but it should also provide something of interest to anyone who wishes to understand geometry and the axiomatic method better. It introduces a modern, rigorous, axiomatic treatment of Euclidean and (to a lesser extent) non-Euclidean geometries, offering students ample opportunities to practice reading and writing proofs while at the same time developing most of the concrete geometric relationships that secondary teachers will need to know in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616509419671,"sku":"9781470437190","price":1566.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781470437190.webp?v=1769294979","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/axiomatic-geometry-9781470437190","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
