Exploring Geometry

Exploring Geometry, Second Edition promotes student engagement with the beautiful ideas of geometry. Every major concept is introduced in its historical context and connects the idea with real-life. A system of experimentation followed by rigorous explanation and proof is central. Exploratory projects play an integral role in this text. Students develop a better sense of how to prove a result and visualize connections between statements, making these connections real. They develop the intuition needed to conjecture a theorem and devise a proof of what they have observed.

Features:

《探索幾何學，第二版》促進學生對幾何學美妙概念的參與。每個主要概念都以其歷史背景介紹，並將概念與現實生活相連結。實驗系統後跟嚴謹的解釋和證明是核心。探索性專案在本書中扮演著重要角色。學生能更好地理解如何證明結果並視覺化陳述之間的聯繫，使這些聯繫變得真實。他們培養了猜想定理並證明所觀察到的內容所需的直覺。
