Journey Through The Wonders Of Plane Geometry, A

Geometry is one of the most beautiful aspects of mathematics. This beauty is because you can 'see' geometry at work. Most people are exposed to the very basic elements of geometry throughout their schooling with the most concentrated study in the secondary school curriculum. High schools in the United States offer one year of concentrated study of geometry that shows students how a mathematician functions, since everything that is accepted beyond the basic axioms must be proved. Unfortunately, as the course is only one year long, there is still very much in geometry left unexplored for the general audience. That is the challenge of this book, in which we will present a plethora of amazing geometric relationships.We begin with the special relationships of the Golden Ratio, before considering unexpected concurrencies and collinearities. Next, we present some surprising results that arise when squares and similar triangles are placed on triangle sides, followed by a discussion of
