| Chapter | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Euclidean Geometry | Five axioms, compass and straightedge, and the theorem that launched a thousand proofs | △ |
| 2. | Coordinate Geometry | Descartes put numbers on geometry: distance, slope, lines, and conic sections | △ |
| 3. | Transformations | Translate, rotate, reflect, scale — and discover that symmetries form a group | △ |
| 4. | Projective Geometry | Add points at infinity so parallel lines meet, then watch points and lines swap roles | △ |
| 5. | Non-Euclidean Geometry | Drop the parallel postulate: on a saddle there are many parallels, on a sphere there are none | △ |
| 6. | Differential Geometry | Curves bend, surfaces curve, and curvature is a number you can compute | △ |
| 7. | Metric Spaces | Distance functions, open balls, and metric spaces as enriched categories | △ |
| 8. | Convex Geometry | Convex sets, convex hulls, separation theorems, and Minkowski sums | △ |
| 9. | Voronoi Diagrams | Nearest-neighbor partitions, Voronoi cells, and Fortune's algorithm | △ |
| 10. | Delaunay Triangulation | Dual of Voronoi, circumcircle property, convex hull in one higher dimension | △ |
| 11. | Power Diagrams | Weighted Voronoi diagrams and the geometry behind ad auctions | △ |
| 12. | The Erlangen Program | Klein's insight: a geometry is defined by its symmetry group | △ |
