Where can I find more information about Plane Geometry?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources for studying Plane Geometry, particularly in relation to 3-dimensional figures. Participants recommend textbooks, including one from Amazon, which is praised for its clarity and depth. The conversation highlights the connection between Plane Geometry and Analytical Geometry, suggesting that further study in Trigonometry or Pre-Calculus may also be beneficial. A specific website, http://www.bymath.com/studyguide/geo/sec/geo14a.htm, is mentioned as a potential resource for additional information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic geometric concepts such as planes, points, and lines.
  • Familiarity with 3-dimensional figures and their properties.
  • Knowledge of Analytical Geometry principles.
  • Basic Trigonometry concepts, as they may be relevant in advanced studies.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research additional textbooks on Plane Geometry, such as "Euclidean Geometry" for a deeper understanding.
  • Explore resources on Analytical Geometry to connect Plane Geometry with 3-dimensional concepts.
  • Study Trigonometry to enhance comprehension of geometric relationships.
  • Visit educational websites like http://www.bymath.com/studyguide/geo/sec/geo14a.htm for supplementary materials.
USEFUL FOR

Students studying geometry, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of Plane Geometry and its applications in higher mathematics.

Hey there

I do study a textbook at School called Plane Geometry, it is about 3d dimensional figures, it starts with explaining Planes, points and lines, then It starts with theories, then I have to prove something like a line perpendicular to a plane and things like that. I googled Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry and many other things but I found nothing new.

I found this website
http://www.bymath.com/studyguide/geo/sec/geo14a.htm

Anybody knows where can I find anything about this interesting topic?

Thanks

What kind of "more" do you mean? Maybe you want a different or better textbook. Plane Geometry is one pathway to 3-dimensional cartesian coordinate Geometry or "Analytical Geometry" in three dimensions. Some courses on Plane Geometry include a brief introduction to Trigonometry, but Trigonometry is much more thoroughly developed either in a dedicated course on it or in a PreCalculus course.

Depending on what more you wish to learn, you might enjoy a textbook on Intermediate Algebra, Trigonometry, or Pre-Calculus.

I meant by more a better textbook with the same level, something introductory.

Here is a textbook I used in university. I thought it was really great.
https://www.amazon.com/Euclidean-Non-...93163&sr=&tag=pfamazon01-20 8-2

I am sure that other people here will know plenty of other books you can use as well.

This book is great and looks interesting.

Thanks guys for your help.
