Fundamental Concepts of Geometry, a highly regarded work, demonstrates in a clear and lucid manner the relationships of several types of geometry to one another. This superior teaching text is especially valuable in teacher preparation, as well as providing an excellent overview of the foundations and historical evolution of geometrical concepts. Professor Meserve (University of Vermont) offers students and prospective teachers the broad mathematical perspective gained from an elementary treatment of the fundamental concepts of mathematics. The clearly presented text, written on an undergraduate (or advanced secondary-school) level, includes numerous exercises and a brief bibliography. This indispensable addition to any math library will enable the reader to discover the relationships among Euclidean plane geometry and other geometries, obtain a practical understanding of "proof," view geometry as a logical system based on postulates and undefined elements, and appreciate the historical evolution of geometric concepts.
