Work through first

Covers much of the same ground

  • One volume covering this and the plane geometry together — but without the orthogonal-projection chapter or the essay on the axioms of geometry.

These overlap heavily. Each note says what that book has which this one does not — the differences are what decide between them.

Problems to work alongside it

What comes next

Further reading

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