Aleksandrov's Geometric Problems: Construction Methods and Solutions
by I. I. Aleksandrov
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
A course in geometric construction organised by the idea that solves the problem, not by topic: direct constructions, geometric loci, similarity, symmetry, parallel translation, inversion, rotation and algebraic methods. Every problem is treated through analysis, construction, proof and discussion.
