A Brief Introduction to Geometry
A mixture of elementary and abstract ideas. . .

"Elementary Geometry" received its name from Euclid's "Elements", it deals with "elements", i.e. points, lines, circles, planes and "relations", i.e. incidences, proportions, lengths and angles. While in former times Elementary Geometry constituted a fixed part in mathematics syllabuses, providing a trainings field for logic reasoning and coordinate free proving methods, the topic now has little scientific esteem and seems to vanish completely in Maths education. The paper tries to show that Elementary Geometry still has its merits and even opens up for new fields in Mathematics. Connecting Elementary Geometry with Projective Geometry and Circle and Chain Geometry extends it to "Advanced Elementary Geometry". These extensions sometimes give better insight into the nature of a basic theorem and it justifies the preoccupation with that subject. The paper aims at providing teachers with perhaps fascinating geometric problems. Most of the presented material stems from other publications of the author and is nothing but a "closer look" to very basic elementary geometric theorems. Thereby iteration and generalization as the standard methods of research in mathematics are applied and often lead to astonishing facts and incidences. Modern dynamic visualization tools together with automatized theorem proving software quickly allow to formulate statements and theorems and therefore are a great stimulus to do research at an early stage of mathematics education.
John B. Little is the translator. This is a Latin to English translation of Geometria Practica by Chrisopher Clavius, S.J. (1538-1612), the preeminent Jesuit mathematician and mathematical astronomer of his time. The first edition of Geometria Practica appeared in 1604. This translation is of the second edition from 1606, produced by the printshop of Johann Albin in Mainz. In preparing this translation we have made use of the electronic version of the 1606 edition of the Geometria Practica maintained by the Bayerische StaatsBibliothek. In particular, all of the figures have been copied from the scanned images here. The typesetting was done with the LaTeX system. In an attempt to duplicate the organization of the original book as much as possible, the marginal references and labels as in Clavius\u27s original have been included. References in the form Book X, Prop. Y are references to Clavius\u27s own edition of Euclid\u27s Elements. This was very influential and a standard text in J...

This is a guided tour through some selected topics in geometric analysis. We have chosen to illustrate many of the basic ideas as they apply to the theory of minimal surfaces. This is, in part, because minimal surfaces is, if not the oldest, then certainly one of the oldest areas of geometric analysis dating back to Euler's work in the
This review volume consists of articles by outstanding scientists who explore Archimedes' influence on the development of mathematics, particularly on Geometry, Analysis and Mechanics.

goals of this paper are threefold: (a) to present the structural elements of a coherent geometry curriculum through the lens of fundamental ideas, (b) to develop an analytical tool to determine the fundamental ideas of geometry in children’s drawings, and (c) to provide insight into the images primary grade students have of geometry.

Teaching geometry is crucial in facilitating student opportunities to make connections with the real world (Usiskin, 1980), in addition to experiencing geometry in an integrated and active manner capitalizing on the wonder, joy and beauty of examining the world (NCTM, 2020a). The study of geometry and measurement provides rich opportunities for
