  • Fully worked Examples and accompanying practice Exercises included in each chapter
  • End of chapter Exercises and Projects containing a wide variety of problems, ranging from skill and drill to collaborative learning to mathematical challenges
  • Emphasizes constructions, encouraging students to develop geometric skills using Euclid’s tools—the compass and straightedge
  • Illustrations engage students who are visual learners while extensive definitions and examples appeal to students who are more mathematically oriented
  • Since progress has been made since Euclid’s time, constructions can also be made using The Geometer’s Sketchpad® or other commonly used geometry software*
  • Biographical profiles spotlight historical figures in mathematics, art, and architecture
  • Rich appendix that contains indexes to historical figures and locations, geometric constructions and formulas, and a complete bibliography
