A high school course in geometry - and, of course, some enthusiasm for the subject - are the only prerequisites for this recreational math book. Most chapters begin with some interesting geometrical history, relevant theorems, and worked examples of problems which are followed by problems for readers to work out for themselves.
The many-faceted exploration, resembling a kaleidoscope, reveals the mysteries and pleasures of geometry. Includes solutions. AUTHOR: Kiev native Boris Pritsker worked as a math teacher and in a special school for gifted and talented high school students with advanced programs in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. His teaching experience led to his publication of numerous articles and problems in mathematical magazines in the former Soviet Union, United States, Australia, and Singapore.
