Description
*The Elements of Geometry* (revised edition, 1894) by Webster Wells is a thoughtful geometry textbook tailored for beginners, emphasizing clarity in written and oral proofs. It covers foundational plane geometry—circle properties, proportions, similar and regular polygons, and measurements—before progressing to solid geometry, including polyhedrons, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Notably, Wells enhances learning by appending each step of a proof with the logical reason in smaller type within brackets, offering learners structured guidance in formulating clear, logical demonstrations. The book includes numerical exercises and their answers, making it a practical, rigorous guide in geometry instruction.
