Modern Geometry by Wayne Aitken

This is a course note on Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries with emphasis on (i) the contrast between the traditional and modern approaches to geometry, and (ii) the history and role of the parallel postulate. This course will be useful to students who want to teach and use Euclidean geometry, to students who want to learn more about the history of geometry, and to students who want an introduction to non-Euclidean geometry.

Modern Geometry Gilbert Lecture Notes

Modern Geometry Gilbert Lecture Notes

This course will show how geometry and geometric ideas are a part of everyone’s life and experiences whether in the classroom, home, or workplace. In the first chapter of the course notes will cover a variety of geometric topics. The four subsequent chapters cover the topics of Euclidean Geometry, Non-Euclidean Geometry, Transformations, and Inversion. However, the goal is not only to study some interesting topics and results, but to also give “proof” as to why the results are valid.

The modern geometry of the triangle

The modern geometry of the triangle

In this little treatise on the Geometry of the Triangle are presented some of the more important researches on the subject which have been undertaken during the last thirty years. The author ventures to express not merely his hope, but his confident expectation, that these novel and interesting theorems some British, but the greater part derived from French and German sources will widen the outlook of our mathematical instructors and lend new vigour to their teaching.
