First Lessons In Plane Geometry

""First Lessons in Plane Geometry"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of geometry, written by Francis Joseph Grund and first published in 1830. The book is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts of plane geometry, including points, lines, angles, triangles, circles, and polygons. The text is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic in depth. The first chapter introduces the basic principles of geometry and provides an overview of the tools and techniques used to solve geometric problems. Subsequent chapters build on this foundation, exploring more complex concepts such as congruence, similarity, and the properties of various geometric shapes. Throughout the book, Grund provides numerous examples and exercises to help students develop their understanding of the material. These exercises range from simple problems that require only a basic understanding of the concepts to more challenging ones that require students to apply their knowledge in creative ways. In addition to its comprehensive coverage of the principles of geometry, ""First Lessons in Plane Geometry"" also includes an extensive appendix that provides solutions to many of the problems presented in the book. This makes it an ideal resource for students who are looking to improve their problem-solving skills and prepare for more advanced studies in mathematics and science. Overall, ""First Lessons in Plane Geometry"" is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in learning the fundamentals of geometry. Its clear and concise explanations, numerous examples, and comprehensive coverage of the subject make it an essential addition to any student's library.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
