Book Reviews of Kiselev's Geometry / Book I. Planimetry
Book Review: Exceptional and unique book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a unique book that not only introduces the students to the world of 2-D Geometry, but teaches them fundamental concepts of mathematical logic and rigorous proof.
All the definitions and theorems are very well illustrated and discussed in a thought-provoking way. All pictures are intuitive and simple, and in many instances show different ways of thinking about the same concept, or problem, or idea.
The book achieves an extraordinary goal - using only elementary concepts it opens the world of real mathematics.
This goal is achieved by a combination of the time-proved approach to introducing the concepts of axioms, theorems, and proofs and an exceptionally rich set of well-tested exercises and problems of various levels of difficulty.
Kiselev's Geometry will greatly benefit every middle-school and high-school student who will study it carefully and thoughtfully. The benefits will go far beyond Geometry, as the students will gain ability to think about new concepts, approaches, ideas, and these skills are applicable to every single domain of the modern human knowledge.
The instruction of a competent and enthusiastic teacher is definitely needed for most students studying this book, as the material has to be discussed and played with.
This is not a self-study manual.
Summary of Kiselev's Geometry / Book I. Planimetry
This is an English translation of a classical Russian grade school-level text in plane Euclidean geometry. (The solid geometry part is published as Kiselev's Geometry / Book II. Stereometry ISBN 0977985210.) The book dominated in Russian math education for several decades, was reprinted in dozens of millions of copies, influenced geometry education in Eastern Europe and China, and is still active as a textbook for 7-9 grades. The book is adapted to the modern US curricula by a professor of mathematics from UC Berkeley.Education Books
