This book provides a fresh modern introduction to geometry, an ancient branch of mathematics with important applications.

• Offers a fresh modern introduction to a fundamental branch of mathematics, from Euclid to the geometry of spacetime in black holes
• Stretches the reader but requires no more than high school mathematics
• Highlights the broader connections of geometry with science and art
