![]() On page 243, Solution 1.50 is incomplete one also needs to check $A$, $P$, $W$ are collinear.On page 235, hint 556 doesn’t make sense.The correct sentence is: if the circumcircle of a cyclic quadrilateral is preserved, then so is the cross ratio of the cyclic quadrilateral. The last sentence is also wrong as written. On page 184, in Theorem 9.33, uniqueness is not true for (b) or (c).On page 159, in Lemma 8.16, change “fixes $B$ and $C$” to “swaps $B$ and $C$”.On page 146, Problem 7.52, change $\angle PCB$ to $\angle PBC$.(The result is still true, and the proof of part (b) is correct.) On page 107, the proof of part (a) of the theorem has several issues, and is probably best to just ignore.On page 92, Problem 5.23, when defining $G$, line $HE$ should intersect $\Gamma_1$, not $\Gamma_2$.On page 76, Theorem 5.1 is missing a factor of $\frac12$.On page 12, Theorem 1.22, the four points could also be collinear.On page 4, the proof of Theorem 1.3 is incomplete because it assumes that the point $O$ lies inside the triangle $ABC$.Most mistakes are harmless, but a few of the mistakes are significant the important ones are reproduced here, too. The errata list is now embarrassingly extensive. Errata (aka selected solutions to Problem 11.0) # I have pre-emptively granted blanket author-approval to the AMS to move forward with any translation proposals (on 22 April 2023 17:19 UTC). ![]() ISBN-10: 4535789789 / ISBN-13: 978-4535789784.Ĭontact reprint-permission ams.org if you would be interested in a proposal for a translation into a different language. Chinese translation at abebooks and amazon.Parody version of entire book: check out Undergraduate Math 011: a firsT yeaR coursE in geometrY, made for April Fool’s Day 2019.Chapter 2 (Circles) and Chapter 8 (Inversion) (available for free).Here is a freely available subset of the book: (This was one of the design goals.) The main limiting factor is instead the ability to read proofs as long as you can follow mathematical arguments, then you should be able to follow the exposition even if you don’t know any geometrical theorems. There are essentially no geometry prerequisites EGMO is entirely self-contained. You can read about the publication process. I wrote this textbook while serving time as a high school clerk. Some solutions are provided in this solutions file. The book contains a selection of about 300 problems from around the world and is accompanied by about 250 figures. However, it has no prerequisites other than a good deal of courage: any student with proof experience should be able to follow the exposition. It was written for competitive students training for national or international mathematical olympiads. You can also purchase a PDF.Įuclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads (often abbreviated EGMO, despite an olympiad having the same name) is a comprehensive problem-solving book in Euclidean geometry. You can get a hard copy from Amazon or the AMS.
