""First Lessons in Plane Geometry"" is a textbook written by Francis Joseph Grund and published in 1830. The book is designed to provide an introduction to the principles of plane geometry, which is the branch of mathematics that deals with the properties and relationships of two-dimensional shapes. The book starts with a brief overview of the basic concepts of geometry and then proceeds to cover topics such as lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons. The author explains each concept in a clear and concise manner, using examples and diagrams to illustrate the key points. In addition to the theoretical aspects of geometry, the book also includes a section on the practical application of these principles to the solution of problems. This section provides students with a range of problems to solve, allowing them to apply the concepts they have learned in a real-world context. Overall, ""First Lessons in Plane Geometry"" is an excellent resource for students who are new to the subject and are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the principles of plane geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
