Review text

The author introduces trigonometric functions in a uniform manner for both hyperbolic and spherical geometry, proves a Pythagorean-like theorem, a law of sines and cosines, the concurrency of the medians of a triangle, provides a formula for areas, and gives a proof of the irrationality of \(\pi\).
