Kiselev's Elementary Geometry: Planimetry and Stereometry
by A. P. Kiselev
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
The complete geometry course — five books of plane geometry and three of solid geometry — in one English volume. Definitions are precise, theorems are proved, constructions are justified, and each idea is prepared by the one before it. 380 pages and 450 figures.

How this book fits
See the whole sequence →Work through first
- Kiselev's Algebra I$44.95
Covers much of the same ground
- Davidov's Geometry$59.95
Davidov's covers plane and solid geometry in 324 pages, 305 numbered sections and 344 figures, with solutions to all 256 of its problems, and closes with the spherical triangle and the conic sections. It is sold as a digital edition read in Gumroad Reader.
- Kiselev's Planimetry$59.95
The same five books of plane geometry, with more figures and more exercises here — but Planimetry has a chapter on the trigonometric functions of an acute angle that this volume does not.
- Rashevsky's Geometry$54.95
Rashevsky's covers plane and solid geometry in 276 pages, 30 chapters and 406 numbered articles, with 338 figures, and includes a chapter on the basic trigonometric functions. Its 367 exercises are printed without answers.
- Kiselev's Stereometry$49.95
The same solid geometry — lines and planes, polyhedra, round solids — but Stereometry adds a chapter on orthogonal projection and an essay on the axioms of geometry that this volume does not carry.
These overlap heavily. Each note says what that book has which this one does not — the differences are what decide between them.

A historical text to read beside the course, not a substitute for it.
