Description: "This newly revised and expanded edition includes more than 200 theoretical and practical problems in which formal geometry provides simple and elegant insight, and the book points the reader toward important areas of modern mathematics." "Lines and Curves is well positioned for companion use with software packages like The Geometer's Sketchpad, and it can serve as a guidebook for engineers. Its deeper, interdisciplinary treatment is ideal for more theoretical readers, and the development from first principles makes the book accessible to undergraduates, advanced high school students, teachers, and puzzle enthusiasts alike."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "Based on an English translation of the original Russian edition by A. Kundu."
