Geometry: A Metric Approach with Models, imparts a realfeeling for Euclidean and non-Euclidean (in particular, hyperbolic) geometry.Intended as a rigorous first course, the book introduces and develops thevarious axioms slowly, and then, in a departure from other texts, continuallyillustrates the major definitions and axioms with two or three models, enablingthe reader to picture the idea more clearly. The second edition has beenexpanded to include a selection of expository exercises. Additionally, theauthors have designed software with computational problems to accompany the text.This software may be obtained from George Parker.
