In this post, we will see the book  Solving Problems in Geometry by
V. Gusev, V. Litvinenko, A. Mordkovich.

This book is intended for students at pedagogical (teacher training) institutes majoring in mathematics or in mathematics and physics. It has been written in correspondence with the current syllabus “Solving Problems”.

When preparing the text, we wanted to represent the main types of
problems in geometry found at school. The book contains about 1000
problems that should be solved independently. Alongside rather simple problems, there are problems whose solution requires profound meditation and sometimes even a non standard approach. The solution of most of the problems in this book will help the student form the professional habits important for a future teacher of mathematics, that is, to know how to solve the geometrical problems covered by the mathematics syllabus for high schools and vocational schools.

This book was translated from the Russian by Leonid Levant. The book was published by first by Mir in 1988.
