Geometry /
Material type: TextPublication details: Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2012Edition: 2nd edDescription: xiv, 587 p. : illISBN: 9781107627888Subject(s): Geometry | Topology | MathematicsDDC classification: 516 Summary: "This richly illustrated and clearly written undergraduate textbook captures the excitement and beauty of geometry. The approach is that of Klein in his Erlangen programme: a geometry is a space together with a set of transformations of the space. The authors explore various geometries: affine, projective, inversive, hyperbolic and elliptic. In each case they carefully explain the key results and discuss the relationships between the geometries. New features in this second edition include concise end-of-chapter summaries to aid student revision, a list of further reading and a list of special symbols. The authors have also revised many of the end-of-chapter exercises to make them more challenging and to include some interesting new results. Full solutions to the 200 problems are included in the text, while complete solutions to all of the end-of-chapter exercises are available in a new Instructors' Manual, which can be downloaded from www.cambridge.org/9781107647831"--Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
