Books by Ronald N. Umble

Designed for a one-semester undergraduate course, this text takes a hands-on, interactive approach to teaching plane geometry. It is self-contained, defining basic concepts from linear and abstract algebra gradually as needed. Following the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Common Core State Standards, the text provides students with a concrete visual alternative to Euclid's purely axiomatic approach to plane geometry. It uses exploratory activities to motivate geometrical concepts and includes exercises at the end of each section.
