Characterizing all right triangles in the plane with integer side lengths amounts to finding all Pythagorean triples. The geometric problem thus appears to become purely arithmetic! How did mathematicians go about completing this quest?

Barycentric coordinates offer a fresh approach to Routh's theorem and its applications to several results in Euclidean geometry.

Heron's formula is strikingly simple. All the more remarkably, it provides a highly effective way to prove other, equally elegant results. It even leads to more fascinating problems in geometry!

During the 19th century, the search for quantities invariant under a particular group of transformations became the main focus of the various branches of geometry. The cross-ratio, a fundamental invariant of projective geometry, also appears in non-Euclidean geometries and their models.
