Description



Book Synopsis



This is a thorough analysis of the fundamentals of plane geometry. The reader is provided with an abundance of geometric facts such as results of Euclidean and spherical geometry, conic sections, projective geometry, and Minkowski geometry to name a few. The book covers unusual material and provides fresh examples and interesting exercises.



From the Back Cover



This is an introduction to the theory and applications of modern geometry. It differs from other books in its field in its emphasis on applications and its discussion of Special Relativity as a major example of a non-Euclidean geometry. Besides Special Relativity, it covers two other important areas of non-Euclidean geometry: spherical geometry (used in navigation and astronomy) and projective geometry (used in art). In addition, it reviews many useful topics from Euclidean geometry, emphasizing transformations, and includes a chapter on conics and planetary orbits. Applications are stressed throughout the book. Every topic is motivated by an application and many additional applications are given in the exercises. The book would be an excellent introduction to higher geometry for those students, especially prospective mathematics teachers, who need to know how geometry is used in addition to its formal theory.
