Foundations of Geometry, Second Edition is written to help enrich the education of all mathematics majors and facilitate a smooth transition into more advanced mathematics courses. The text also implements the latest national standards and recommendations regarding geometry for the preparation of high school mathematics teachers―and encourages students to make connections between their college courses and classes they will later teach. This text's coverage begins with Euclid's Elements, lays out a system of axioms for geometry, and then moves on to neutral geometry, Euclidian and hyperbolic geometries from an axiomatic point of view, and then non-Euclidean geometry. Good proof-writing skills are emphasized, along with a historical development of geometry. The Second Edition streamlines and reorganizes material in order to reach coverage of neutral geometry as early as possible, adds more exercises throughout, and facilitates use of the open-source software Geogebra. This text is ideal for an undergraduate course in axiomatic geometry for future high school geometry teachers, or for any student who has not yet encountered upper-level math, such as real analysis or abstract algebra. It assumes calculus and linear algebra as prerequisites.

Gerard Venema earned an A.B. in mathematics from Calvin College and a Ph.D. from the University of Utah. After completing his education, he spent two years in a postdoctoral position at the University of Texas at Austin and another two years as a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. He then returned to his alma mater, Calvin University, and has been a faculty member there ever since. While on the Calvin University faculty he also held visiting faculty positions at the University of Tennessee, the University of Michigan, and Michigan State University. He also spent two years as Program Director for Topology, Geometry, and Foundations in the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation and nearly ten years as the Associate Secretary of the Mathematical Association of America. Venema is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. He is the author of two other books. One is an undergraduate textbook, Exploring Advanced Euclidean Geometry with GeoGebra, published by the Mathematical Association of America. The other is a research monograph, Embeddings in Manifolds, coauthored by Robert J. Daverman, that was published by the American Mathematical Society as volume 106 in its Graduate Studies in Mathematics series. In addition, Venema is author of over thirty research articles in geometric topology.
