Where can I find more information about Plane Geometry?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding additional resources and information related to Plane Geometry, particularly focusing on textbooks and educational materials that cover 3-dimensional figures, planes, points, and lines. Participants share their experiences and suggest various resources for further study.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant mentions studying a textbook on Plane Geometry that covers foundational concepts and proofs related to 3-dimensional figures.
  • Another participant shares a university textbook they found helpful, providing a link to an Amazon page for further reference.
  • Some participants discuss the possibility of seeking different or better textbooks, suggesting that Plane Geometry can lead to more advanced topics like Analytical Geometry.
  • There is a suggestion that textbooks on Intermediate Algebra, Trigonometry, or Pre-Calculus might also be beneficial depending on the participant's learning goals.
  • A later reply clarifies the request for a better introductory textbook at the same level as the current study material.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for additional resources but express varying opinions on what constitutes "more" in terms of textbooks and topics. No consensus on specific resources has been reached.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations in the discussion include the lack of specific recommendations for introductory textbooks that match the participant's current level and the ambiguity around what "more" entails in terms of content and depth.

Who May Find This Useful

Students studying Plane Geometry or related fields, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of geometry and its applications.

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.
