In this post, we will see the book Geometry by E. Z. Shuvalova.

About the book

The book provides a comprehensive treatment of basic geometrical concepts for high schools. The first chapter deals with properties of triangles. Chapter 2 gives a comprehensive introduction to  structure of solid geometry. The chapter on parallelism in space details the concept in various contexts. Next three chapters dal with space, vectors and planes and their properties including  dihedral and polyhedral angles. The last few chapters treat solids, polyhedrons and their properties such as areas volumes and sections by planes. There are worked problems and exercises for each chapter.

The book was translated from Russian by Leonid Levant and was published in 1980 by Mir.
