This comprehensive, best-selling text focuses on the study of many different geometries -- rather than a single geometry -- and is thoroughly modern in its approach. Each chapter is essentially a short course on one aspect of modern geometry, including finite geometries, the geometry of transformations, convexity, advanced Euclidian geometry, inversion, projective geometry, geometric aspects of topology, and non-Euclidean geometries. This edition reflects the recommendations of the COMAP proceedings on Geometry's Future, the NCTM standards, and the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics. References to a new companion text, Active Geometry by David A. Thomas encourage students to explore the geometry of motion through the use of computer software. Using Active Geometry at the beginning of various sections allows professors to give students a somewhat more intuitive introduction using current technology before moving on to more abstract concepts and theorems.

<p>This comprehensive, best-selling text focuses on the study of many different geometries--rather than a single geometry--and emphasizes practical applications. Designed to be a flexible teaching tool for a wide range of students (including math, education, or computer science majors), Smart's text features self-contained chapters organized so that instructors can cover as much or as little of each topic as they choose, from bare minimum one-section coverage to full-chapter coverage. Modern Geometries has earned a reputation for its logical progression of ideas, its well-constructed exercises, and its comprehensive coverage. In this edition, Smart covers the major new applied areas of computer graphics, and emphasizes matrices for transformations.</p>
