In the book, the Turkish equivalents that Atatürk found for geometry terms and the geometry theories are explained. “Dimension, space, surface, level, diameter, radius, square section, arc, circle, tangent, angle, bisector, interior angle, exterior angle, base, oblique, broken, plumb line, horizontal, vertical, parallel, position, triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, diagonal, equilateral, isosceles, parallelogram, lateral, trapezoid, plus, minus, multiply, divide, equal, sum, ratio, proportion, derivative, area, assumption, justification, etc.” The terms were coined by Ataturk himself. The fact that Atatürk was interested in this task amidst all the war, turmoil and problems and the fact that we still use the terms he invented today made me admire Atatürk once again. This book should be in every library and read by everyone.
