Euclidean geometry book for math contests












2












$begingroup$


I'm a last year high school student, I'm looking for a "short" (by short I mean, not over 250 pages) Euclidean geometry book that covers topics linked to euclidean geometry of math contests, I have a decent knowledge in the topic thus I'm looking for a book to tackle a bit more advanced stuff. By searching a bit on the internet I found this one book: "Geometry revisited by Coxeter & Greitzer", I've read through the content and it seemed what I was looking for, is the book good for my purpose? any better suggestion?

    See my FAQ for a few suggestions (Honsberger is a fun read, Altshiller-Court is comprehensive and systematic, Johnson is somewhat obsolete but has some gems), but keep in mind that several new books have come out since 2006 (in particular, Hadamard's Planimetry in English with 2-3 companion volumes containing problems and solutions).

A great book is



Evan Chen, Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads



While something a bit more elementary, but containing some hard problems is



Louridas & Rassias, Problem-Solving and Selected Topics in Euclidean Geometry



A great Dover edition with famous problems and less famous is



Aref & Wernick, Problems and Solutions in Euclidean Geometry

    while EGMO is a fantastic book, it's slightly over OP's request of 250 pages. I still think it's worth a read though

2.V.V.Prasolov. Problems in Plane Geometry.

    I haven't read the book myself, but a former participant in the International Mathematical Olympiads that I am acquainted with suggested Plane Euclidean Geometry: Theory and Problems, by A. D. Gardiner and C. J. Bradley, a suggestion which is also given here.

                      Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

                      Image
                      28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form?

                      A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

                      Image
                      3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
