Geometry and Its Applications Author:Walter A. Meyer Geometry and Its Applications combines traditional geometry with ideas of recent decades to present a new approach for the 21st century. It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, and introduces axiomatic, Euclidian geometry, non-Euclidian geometry, and transformational geometry. The text integrates realistic applications... more » throughout, includes historical notes in many chapters, and contains student and instructor's guides that support Geometer's Sketchpad.
