In this post, we will see the book Geometric Transformations 1 by I. M. Yaglom.

About the book

This book, part of the New Mathematical Library series, aims to make key mathematical concepts accessible to high school students and general readers. These volumes often cover topics outside the standard high school curriculum, varying in difficulty. Readers may need to focus more on certain sections but generally require minimal technical knowledge.

Mathematical books can’t be read quickly or fully understood on the first pass. Readers should feel free to skip and return to complex parts. Learning mathematics effectively involves solving problems, so readers are encouraged to engage actively with the material using paper and pencil.

This work focuses on elementary geometry, exploring significant ideas like the deductive method and geometric transformations, which lead to non-Euclidean geometry. The book prioritizes simplicity and clarity over rigor, avoiding complex definitions and terms to aid understanding.

Problems in the book test comprehension and encourage practice. Readers should attempt at least one problem from each group, consulting provided solutions. The book emphasizes methods over results, using problems to illustrate concepts rather than focusing on three-dimensional propositions, keeping the primary ideas intact.
