Summary:

This modern approach to geometry contains a wealth of material not usually found in geometry texts and suggests numerous interesting scenarios from real life, in which the application of basic geometric theorems solves more complex problems in an elegant and rather simple fashion. Over 200 problems guide the reader into important areas of modern mathematics. This book brings together, in an informal fashion, geometric theorems, their results, and applications, enabling anyone to apply these theorems to problems in many fields.
