Prerequisites for Hartshorne: Euclid and beyond?

1.1k Views Asked by At

as the title suggests, I am looking for the prerequisites to Hartshorne's Euclid and beyond. I just found this book and I think it's wonderful, but the downside is that I only know math up to single variable calculus (along with some elementary topics such as basic euclidean geometry and number theory).

Thanks

You do not need to know any calculus to do geometry. I think you are all set to read it.

By the way, I am also reading Hartshorne!, but his other geometry book, also no calculus required there either.

I'm surprised no one recommend that you read Euclid's Elements translate by Sir Thomas Heath and available as a Dover reprint in 3 Volumes.
