If you are familiar with Euclid’s axioms you may be able to skip this section, which is a brief (and perhaps a bit technical) review.

0172-6056 roach will greatly appeal both to students and mathematicians. Interesting problems are nicely scattered throughout the text. The contents of the book can be covered in a one-semester course, perhaps as a sequel to a Euclidean geometry course.978-1-4612-6837-6978-1-4612-0607-1Series ISSN 0172-6056 Series E-ISSN 2197-5604

Geometry of the Hyperbolic Plane,1). From this we are able to deduce the possible regular and semiregular tilings of the plane (See Section 2.2). Now we are going to make the contrary assumption, that the sum of the angles in any triangle is less than 180º. (Recall Legendre’s and Saccheri’s Theorem 1.3.2, which says that either the

More Geometry of the Sphere,owever, it is certainly possible to construct polyhedra with regular faces that are not inscribed in the sphere. In our classification of regular and semiregular polyhedra, we saw that Euler’s formula severely limited the possible polyhedra that we could construct. By analysis of the numerical relat
