Complex Numbers and Geometry

Download or read book Complex Numbers and Geometry written by Liang-shin Hahn and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to demonstrate that complex numbers and geometry can be blended together beautifully. This results in easy proofs and natural generalizations of many theorems in plane geometry, such as the Napoleon theorem, the Ptolemy-Euler theorem, the Simson theorem, and the Morley theorem. The book is self-contained—no background in complex numbers is assumed—and can be covered at a leisurely pace in a one-semester course. Many of the chapters can be read independently. Over 100 exercises are included. The book would be suitable as a text for a geometry course, or for a problem solving seminar, or as enrichment for the student who wants to know more.
