Projective geometry is concerned with the properties of figures that are invariant by projecting and taking sections. It is considered one of the most beautiful parts of geometry and plays a central role because its specializations cover the whole of the affine, Euclidean and no…
Axiomatic projective geometry
by Heyting, A.
fromBibliotheca Mathematica (P. Noordhoff)
Presented as an engaging discourse, this textbook invites readers to delve into the historical origins and uses of geometry. The narrative traces the influence of Euclid's system of geometry, as developed in his classic text The Elements, through the Arabic period, the modern er…
The Erlangen program expresses a fundamental point of view on the use of groups and transformation groups in mathematics and physics. The present volume is the first modern comprehensive book on that program and its impact in contemporary mathematics and physics. Klein spelled o…
