Geometry — Directed Reading Program (Spring 2026)

References/Resources

Here are our main references. Depending on where we take this reading project, we may supplement them with extra references.

• Geometry: Euclid and Beyond, by Robin Hartshorne
• Elements, by Euclid. We'll use David E. Joyce's translation.

And here are some recommended resources.

• We'll be studying straight-edge and compass constructions, so you might want to get a compass. I have this one, but there are many cheaper options.
• If you don't have a compass, you can still make straight-edge and compass constructions inside Geogebra.
• Euclidea is a mobile "game" about straight-edge and compass constructions.
