Sinopsis

Excerpt from Practical Exercises in Geometry

This book is an attempt to adapt the experimental method to the teaching Of Geometry in schools. The main Object of this method, sometimes called heuristic, is to make the student think for himself, to give him something to do with his hands for which the brain must be called in as a fellow-worker. The plan has been tried with success in the laboratory, and it seems to be equally well-suited to the Mathe matical class-room. Care has been taken to select exercises which can be easily performed in an ordinary room with ordinary materials. Doubtless there are many experiments, which might have been included, missing from the following collection but it is hoped that the course will be found sufficient, or at least that it will indicate a way Of presenting the work to a beginner.
