About The Book
Introduction to Geometry by Edward Walsh is an accessible and thorough introduction to geometry, designed to help undergraduate students build a solid foundation in the subject. Beginning with the fundamentals of mathematical language through the algebra of logic and sets, the book gradually progresses, covering a wide range of geometric topics including points, angles, triangles, polygons, circles, space geometry, and coordinate geometry.

The book is structured to allow for flexible pacing, with early chapters designed to cultivate understanding and confidence, setting the stage for more rapid development in later chapters. Each chapter includes progressively difficult problem sets, along with review exercises and annotated references for further study.

Three helpful appendices and the inclusion of answers and hints for selected problems make this book an invaluable resource for students. Ideal for anyone looking to gain a strong understanding of geometry, Introduction to Geometry can also be adapted for shorter courses, making it a versatile choice for instructors and students alike.
