Description
New Horizons in Geometry represents the fruits of 15 years of work in geometry by a remarkable team of prize-winning authors, Tom Apostol and Mamikon Mnatsakanian. It serves as a capstone to a wonderful collaboration (Apostol [Mathematical Analysis] has been teaching for over 50 years at Caltech). Apostol and Mnatsakanian provide fresh and powerful insights into geometry that requires only a modest background in mathematics. Using new and intuitively rich methods, they give beautifully illustrated proofs of results, the majority of which are new, and frequently develop extensions of familiar theorems that are often surprising and sometimes astounding. It is a mathematical exposition of the highest order.
