Rybkin's Collection of Problems in Geometry, Part II: Stereometry
by N. Rybkin
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
The problem set Russian students worked through alongside Kiselev's geometry. 730 problems across 25 sections: perpendiculars and oblique lines to a plane, parallel lines and planes, dihedral and polyhedral angles, regular polyhedra, prisms, pyramids and frustums, cylinders, cones and the sphere, volumes and surface areas. Original numbering and all 46 figures retained.
· 25 numbered articles · 730 exercises
