Geometry

Description

This is a new English translation of the book from the original Russian published in 1950. Geometry for Entertainment is written both for friends of mathematics and for those readers from whom many attractive aspects of mathematics have somehow been hidden. More importantly, this book is intended for those readers who studied (or are currently studying) geometry only at the blackboard and therefore are not used to noticing familiar geometric relationships in the world of things and phenomena around us, have not learnt to use the acquired geometric knowledge in practise, in difficult cases of life, on a hike, in a bivouac or front-line situation. To arouse the reader’s interest in geometry or, in the words of the author, “to inspire a desire and cultivate a taste for its study is the objective of this book.”
