1. Measuring line segments 2. Measuring angles 3. The triangle inequality 4. Congruent figures 5. Triangle congruence tests 6. Isosceles triangles 7. Circle 8. Straightedge and compass constructions 9. Parallel lines 10. Right triangles 11. Parallelograms 12. Rectangle, rhombus, square 13. Graph paper 14. Equilateral triangles 15. Midsegment of a triangle 16. Intercept theorem 17. Trapezoid 18. Simple inequalities 19. Reflection symmetry 20. Central symmetry 21. Angles in a circle 22. Tangents 23. Two circles 24. Circumscribed circle and perpendicular bisectors 25. Inscribed circle (incircle). Bisectors 26. Inscribed and circumscribed quadrilaterals 27. Area 28. The Pythagorean Theorem 29. Similarity 30. Coordinates on a line 31. Coordinates on a plane 32. Common measure 33. Trigonometry
Summary: Classical Euclidean geometry, with all its triangles, circles, and inscribed angles, remains an excellent playground for high-school mathematics students, even if it looks outdated from the professional mathematician's viewpoint. It provides an excellent choice of elegant and natural problems that can be used in a course based on problem solving. The book contains more than 750 (mostly) easy but nontrivial problems in all areas of plane geometry and solutions for most of them, as well as additional problems for self-study (some with hints). Each chapter also provides concise reminders of basic notions used in the chapter, so the book is almost self-contained (although a good textbook and competent teacher are always recommended). More than 450 figures illustrate the problems and their solutions. --- summary provided by publisher
