"Starts with the fundamentals of geometry - point, line and plane. Goes to the possible relations between 2 lines - from parallel to oblique, to right and intersecting. Explores all the 3-and 4- sided figures, from planar triangles to quadrilateral polygons. Discusses symmetry and the simple rules for fitting shapes. Gives dozens of designs that exemplify mathematical series."--p. 2 of cover.
