ABSTRACT
Readers of a book with this title certainly don’t need to be sold on the virtues of geometry. But virtues are not enough to justify elevating any one body of knowledge or ideas—whether as a discrete course, or as a thread interwoven into other courses—to a status that takes significant time away from other virtuous bodies of knowledge or ideas. There is a great deal worth learning, and it cannot all be taught in school. So, why geometry?
