(Stahl's Second Edition continues to provide students with...)
Stahl's Second Edition continues to provide students with the elementary and constructive development of modern geometry that brings them closer to current geometric research. At the same time, repeated use is made of high school geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, thus reinforcing the students' understanding of these disciplines as well as enhancing their perception of mathematics as a unified endeavor. This distinct approach makes these advanced geometry principles accessible to undergraduates and graduates alike.

Designed to inform readers about the formal development of Euclidean geometry and to prepare prospective high school mathematics instructors to teach Euclidean geometry, this text closely follows Euclid's classic, Elements. The text augments Euclid's statements with appropriate historical commentary and many exercises - more than 1,000 practice exercises provide readers with hands-on experience in solving geometrical problems.

Saul Stahl was born on January 23, 1942 in Antwerp, Belgium; the son of Mano Moses Stahl, a diamond broker, and Finkla (Schmidt) Stahl, a nurse.
Saul Stahl received a Bachelor of Arts from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in 1963, a Master of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley in 1966, and a Doctor of Philosophy from Western Michigan University in 1975.
Saul Stahl became a volunteer high school and college teacher in Nepal as a part of the United States Peace Corps in 1965. Three years later he was appointed as a systems programmer at International Business Machines Co. From 1975 to 1977 Saul served at Wright State University as an assistant professor of mathematics. In 1977 Stahl became a professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas and worked there for almost thirty-four years, becoming a Professor Emeritus.
Stahl was working on creating alternative curricula for standard post calculus mathematics courses.
Saul Stahl was a popular author and educator. Among his well-known books are Introductory Modern Algebra: A Historical Approach, Real Analysis: A Historical Approach, and Understanding Modern Mathematics. He was also a recipient of the Carl B. Allendoerfer Award for the article "The Other Coloring Theorem."

1999Quotations: "I am writing the textbooks that I wish I had seen as an undergraduate student with a major in mathematics. To the extent possible, the exposition is informed, as Henri Poincaré suggested it should be, by the historical evolution of the subject matter. I avoid all unnecessary abstractions and make sure that the reader is provided with ample routine exercises and a sufficient number of challenging problems."
Saul Stahl was a member of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Association of America.
Saul Stahl married Susan Hogle, an occupational therapist, on September 1, 1980. They had three children - Dan Langdon, Lynne Elizabeth and Amy Joy.
