This book is for people who want to get
acquainted with the concepts of basic geometry without taking a formal
course. It can serve as a supplemental text in a classroom, tutored, or
home-schooling environment. It should also be useful for career
changers who need to refresh their knowledge of the subject. I
recommend that you start at the beginning of this book and go straight
through.
This is not a rigorous course in theoretical geometry. Such a course
defines postulates (or axioms) and provides deductive proofs of
statements called theorems by applying mathematical logic. Proofs are
generally omitted in this book for the sake of simplicity and clarity.
Emphasis here is on practical aspects. You should have knowledge of
middle-school algebra before you begin this book.
