Geometry for College Students (Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts)
. . . A very useful and needed book for the course . . . The tone is exactly on target . . . The proofs are always clear and the level of rigor is the right one: always clear, never hiding the issues, never condescending . . . Many geometry books emphasize axioms giving students the impression that mathematics is a perverse game which tries to make the obvious difficult. This impression is definitely the wrong one to come away with for a future high school teacher. Hence, I agree with the author wholeheartedly that 'separation axioms, ' 'Hilbert axioms, ' and other late work on the foundations of geometry should be given at most a passing mention in such a course . . . This book promises to be a useful tool to teach prospective high school mathematics teachers what mathematics is all about.
