Geometry books for pre college level including olymiad level

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on essential books for mastering Euclidean geometry at the elementary and pre-college levels. Key recommendations include "Advanced Euclidean Geometry" by Roger A. Johnson, "Kiselev's Geometry" for beginners, and two works by H.S.M. Coxeter: "Geometry Revisited" and "Introduction to Geometry." Additionally, Edwin Moise's geometry book is suggested for further study. Collectively, these texts provide a comprehensive foundation in Euclidean geometry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with basic geometric concepts
  • Understanding of Euclidean principles
  • Ability to engage with mathematical proofs
  • Access to recommended geometry texts
NEXT STEPS
  • Study "Kiselev's Geometry" for a solid introduction to Euclidean concepts
  • Read "Geometry Revisited" by H.S.M. Coxeter for advanced insights
  • Explore "Introduction to Geometry" by H.S.M. Coxeter for a comprehensive understanding
  • Investigate Edwin Moise's geometry book for additional perspectives on the subject
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for mathematics competitions, educators teaching geometry, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of 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
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471504580/?tag=pfamazon01-20

3) Edwin Moise
