Book Description:

Traditionally we have also learned formal reasoning by studying Euclidean geometry. In this book, David Clark develops a modern axiomatic approach to this subject, both in content and presentation. Mathematically, Clark has chosen a new set of axioms that draw on a modern understanding of set theory and logic, the real number continuum and measure theory. The result is a development of the standard content of Euclidean geometry with the mathematical precision of Hilbert's foundations...
