Research and Markets: Advanced Euclidean Geometry: Excursions for Secondary Teachers and Students with Geometer's Sketchpad V5 Set

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/482595/advanced_euclidean) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Advanced Euclidean Geometry: Excursions for Secondary Teachers and Students with Geometer's Sketchpad V5 Set" to their offering.

“Advanced Euclidean Geometry: Excursions for Secondary Teachers and Students with Geometer's Sketchpad V5 Set”

State curriculum standards are mandating more coverage of geometry, as are the curricula for pre-service mathematics education and in-service teaching. Yet many secondary teachers know just enough geometry to stay one chapter ahead of their students! What's more, most college-level geometry texts don't address their specific needs.

Advanced Euclidean Geometry fills this void by providing a thorough review of the essentials of the high school geometry course and then expanding those concepts to advanced Euclidean geometry, to give teachers more confidence in guiding student explorations and questions. The text contains hundreds of illustrations created in The Geometers Sketchpad Dynamic Geometry software, and it is packaged with a CD-ROM (for Windows/Macintosh formats) containing over 100 interactive sketches using Sketchpad (assumes that the user has access to the program).

Features:

• First chapter includes brief, quick review of the essentials of basic high school geometry.
• Remainder of text digs more deeply into advanced Euclidian Geometry (Euclidian geometries developed in the 19th and 20th centuries), which gives high school teachers a deeper understanding beyond the course they teach.
• Nearly 100 illustrations created with The Geometers Sketchpad.
• Student CD included with the text that has interactive versions of selected illustrations from the text so students can manipulate the sketches in order to see how geometric properties hold true.

Key Topics Covered:

• Preface.
• Introduction.
• About the Author.
• Chapter 1: Elementary Euclidean Geometry Revisited.
• Chapter 2: Concurrency of Lines in a Triangle.
• Chapter 3: Collinearity of Points.
• Chapter 4: Some Symmetric Points in a Triangle.
• Chapter 5: More Triangle Properties.
• Chapter 6: Quadrilaterals.
• Chapter 7: Equicircles.
• Chapter 8: The Nine-Point Circle.
• Chapter 9: Triangle Constructions.
• Chapter 10: Circle Constructions.
• Chapter 11: The Golden Section and Fibonacci Numbers.
• Index
