Geometry books for pre college level including olymiad level

AI Thread Summary
For mastering Euclidean geometry at the elementary and pre-college levels, several key texts are recommended. "Advanced Euclidean Geometry" by Roger A. Johnson is noted as a solid resource, but "Elements" by Euclid is considered essential for foundational understanding. Kiselev's Geometry is suggested for beginners seeking a straightforward introduction. Additionally, "Geometry Revisited" and "Introduction to Geometry" by H.S.M. Coxeter are highlighted for their depth and comprehensive coverage, with the latter being particularly detailed. Edwin Moise's work is also mentioned as a valuable resource for learners. Overall, these texts collectively provide a robust framework for studying Euclidean geometry.

please suggest the books 'must do' in eucleodian geometry for elementary and pre college level.
Is doing 'Advanced Eucleodian Geometry' by Roger A.johnson enough?

To learn Euclidean geometry, the best book would probably be Elements. If you can get your hands on those older volumes, it would really be nice.

Roger Johnson is good, here are some more suggestions

0) Kiselev's Geometry
Very basic, if you need a solid introduction to the subject.

1) Coxeter - Geometry revisited
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0883856190/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2) Coxeter - Introduction to geometry. (I'm doing this one right now)
Very detailed and has much more than Euclidean

3) Edwin Moise

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
