Review text

This is the second volume of ``An excursion through elementary mathematics and is devoted to the exploration of the Euclidean geometry. The authors provides an overview of elementary geometry in relationship with questions from mathematical Olympiads around the world. The content of the book is divided into 13 chapters and the last one includes hints and solutions. This second volume covers plane geometry, trigonometry, space geometry, vectors in the plane, and solids. Examples and problems are discussed in connection with their importance for the theory. The book also explores some problems proposed at various national and international mathematics Olympiads. This book is useful for high-school students interested in preparing for mathematical Olympiads. For Volume I see [the author, An excursion through elementary mathematics. Volume I. Real numbers and functions. Cham: Springer (2017; Zbl 1371.97002)].
