Serge Lang was a French mathematician and prolific writer of math books at all levels. This was my first geometry textbook in high schoo (freshman year). The only downside of Lang is that he's a Bourbakian. (Is that a downside?โฆ)
This book presents the worked-out solutions for all the exercises in the text by Lang and Murrow. It will be of use not only to mathematics teachers, but also to students using the text for self-study.
