Features: This book is a research outcome of the "Higher Normal Education Towards the 21st Century and Curriculum System Reform Plan" by the Ministry of Education. Based on the fundamental requirements, practical characteristics, and teaching practices of the geometry course for mathematics education majors in higher normal universities, the authors have revised it multiple times for convenience. It is published in two volumes for ease of use. The first volume includes three parts: Geometry Basics, Analytic Geometry, and Differential Geometry; the second volume includes two parts: Projective Geometry and Topological Spaces, as well as two appendices: Preliminary Knowledge—Sets and Functions, and A Brief History of the Development of Geometry. This book can serve as a textbook for the geometry course for mathematics education majors in higher normal universities and can also be used by students from other related disciplines.
