The Elements of Non-Euclidean Plane Geometry and Trigonometry by Horatio Scott Carslaw
About this book :-
This book introduction to non-Euclidean geometry and trigonometry. It explains different kind of geometry where the usual rules don’t always work. It talks about shapes like triangles and lines, and how to measure angles in this new kind of geometry. The book helps people understand these ideas in an easy and clear way.
Recent changes in the teaching of Geometry in England and America have made it more than ever necessary that the teachers should have some knowledge of the hypotheses on which Euclidean Geometry is built, and especially of that hypothesis on which Euclid's Theory of Parallels rests.

About Author :-
The author
Horatio Scott Carslaw
was a mathematician from Scotland who worked in Australia. He taught math at the University of Sydney and studied how heat moves and other math topics. He wrote books to help students learn hard math ideas, like non-Euclidean geometry. He also played a big role in improving math education in Australia during his career.
