Book synopsis

This work offers insights on various facets of geometry through development of four geometric themes: ellipse, the shape or shadow cast by a cirlce; all three types of conic sections - the ellipse, the parabola and the hyperbola; certain properties of geometric figures related to the problem of finding the largest areas that can be enclosed by a curve of given length - the isoperimetric problem; and a development of the non-Euclidean geometry in the Poincare disc model of the hyperbolic plane.
