Geometry,fluid, dynamic, and visual. The fundamental geometric quantities (length, area, and volume) are familiar to everyone but hard to define. And some “obvious” geometric facts are not even provable; they can be taken as axioms, but so can their opposites. In geometry, intuition runs ahead of logic. Our

Trigonometry,ize of angles in triangles. Euclid says very little about this. He has theorems about equal angles and the sum of angles, and one angle being twice another or simply larger than another, but he never actually . angles. He does not represent angles by numbers, nor does he represent them by lengths or

Finite Arithmetic,t. Since then, infinity has appeared in many situations, and we have seen many ways to approach and tame it. Still, it is remarkable how often we succeed. Even if the world of ideas is infinite, as Dedekind believed, there is no doubt that . are finite, so success with infinity depends on capturing

Another motive for studying them is their ability to “construct” numbers not constructible by ruler and compass, such as . Perhaps t

This book covers the main ideas of Euclid--geometry, arithmetic and the theory of real numbers, but with 2000 years of extra insights attached. NUMBERS AND GEOMETRY presupposes only high scho
