The book provides an in-depth examination of essential constructions in Euclidean geometry, trigonometry, the Pythagorean theorem, algebra, and related topics, utilizing traditional instruments like a straightedge and compass. It is organized as a collection of problems and solutions, each focusing on a particular mathematical construction or property.

It is well-structured, beginning with definitions and progressing to specific problems along with their solutions. Each problem is presented clearly, followed by a detailed, step-by-step solution, making it accessible for readers who have a basic understanding of geometry. It encompasses a broad array of fundamental constructions, such as angle bisection, perpendiculars, reflections, equilateral triangles, perpendicular bisectors, and parallels. Additionally, it offers various methods for constructing parallels, highlighting the adaptability of Euclidean tools.

This book thoroughly investigates the foundational principles of planar Euclidean geometry, trigonometry, the Pythagorean theorem, and circle measurements. It begins with Euclid's ancient viewpoint and transitions into a comprehensive introduction to the modern axiomatic framework established by Hilbert, which is now widely accepted in the contemporary mathematics community. The material is presented with an emphasis on modern interpretations, ensuring it remains relevant and clear for today's audience.
