Geometry Unbound

This is the web site for an e-book entitled Geometry Unbound, by Kiran S. Kedlaya. This book is being made available through an open-source copyright model (the GNU Free Documentation License), which permits the free distribution and modification of the book, provided that such permission is also granted to distributed copies. (This cascading permission is a principle known as copyleft.)

This web site is set up to distribute the book in both "compiled" and "source" form (in compliance with the GFDL), and to provide various ancillary materials. Note that not all of the ancillary materials are presently under the GFDL; our intent is for that to be remedied at some point.

This work has been cited in an art installation at UC San Diego!

GFDL Material

• Geometry Unbound version of 18 Jan 2006 (PDF, TeX; no figures)

Non-GFDL Material

• The book is based on a set of notes from August 1999 that I used to distribute via the American Mathematics Competitions website. These retain a traditional copyright; the GFDL only applies to them via this book.
• In 2005, Marcelo Alvisio created Geometer's Sketchpad renderings of some of the missing figures from the 18 Jan 2006 version. I'm not sure whether these can be placed under the GFDL, because they are in a propriety software format.
• Sometime around 1999, Reid Barton created a set of solutions for the August 1999 notes; these were updated in 2005 by Marcelo Alvisio. I plan to post these at some point.
