Elementary Plane Geometry: Inductive and Deductive is a comprehensive textbook written by Alfred Baker and published in 1903. The book covers the fundamental principles of plane geometry, including points, lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons. It is designed to be used by students in their early years of learning geometry, and it is written in a clear and concise style that is easy to understand.The book is divided into two main sections: inductive geometry and deductive geometry. The first section focuses on the use of observation and experimentation to discover geometric principles and relationships. The second section is more formal and presents the principles of geometry in a deductive manner, starting with axioms and building on them to prove theorems.Throughout the book, Baker provides numerous examples and exercises to help students develop their understanding of geometry. He also includes historical notes and biographical sketches of famous mathematicians to give students a sense of the history of geometry and the contributions made by various scholars over the centuries.Overall, Elementary Plane Geometry: Inductive and Deductive is a valuable resource for students and teachers of geometry. Its clear explanations, numerous examples, and thorough coverage of the subject make it an ideal textbook for anyone seeking to learn or teach the principles of plane geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
