From groups to geometry and back

Groups arise naturally as symmetries of geometric objects, and so groups can be used to understand geometry and topology. Conversely, one can study abstract groups by using geometric techniques and ultimately by treating groups themselves as geometric objects. This book explores…
Clavius, une clé pour Euclide au XVIe siècle
by Rommevaux, Sabine, Clavius, Christoph
fromMathesis
"The fundamental idea of geometry is that of symmetry. With that principle as the starting point, Barker and Howe begin an insightful and rewarding study of Euclidean geometry." "The primary focus of the book is on transformations of the plane. The transformational point of view…
