| Dec 14, 2023 at 22:24 | comment | added | kcrisman | A little more background on your setting would be helpful. Is this supposed to be Euclidean only, differential, ... and when you say "first-year", do you mean high school, university, graduate, ... and for which audience, math concentrators, future elementary or secondary educators, "liberal arts" students, ... The reason I ask is because in some countries geometry would (almost) never be a first-year course for mathematics majors at the undergraduate level; it would either be too elementary or too advanced, depending on what content was covered. | |

| Dec 12, 2023 at 13:31 | comment | added | Aravind Gundakaram | Hartshorne assumes some abstract algebra if I am not mistaken. I cannot assume knowledge of groups for a freshman course... I had Hartshorne in mind when I wrote this question, but decided to explore all my options before deciding on one. | |

| Dec 11, 2023 at 12:56 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | You might look at Hartshorne, Robin. Geometry: Euclid and Beyond. Springer, 2013. It goes well beyond Euclid. I haven't taught from it myself, so this is an uninformed suggestion. | |
