BOOK

A Course of Geometry for Colleges and Universities

---

This textbook, later reprinted by Dover as Geometry: A Comprehensive Course, is a lucid and masterly survey of the geometry typically included in undergraduate mathematics programs. Based on a course taught by Professor Pedoe at the University of Minnesota, the text aims to increase mathematical understanding and enjoyment through a rigorous yet accessible approach. Key topics include the use of vectors to prove theorems like Desargues' and Pappus', the representation of circles by points in three dimensions, and extensive coverage of isometries, similitudes, and Möbius transformations. It also features a substantial introduction to projective geometry and algebraic geometry, supported by over 500 exercises to test the reader's intuition.
