| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | This book, taking a holistic view of geometry, introduces the reader to axiomatic, algebraic, analytic and differential geometry.<br/><br/>Starting with an informal introduction to non-Euclidean plane geometries, the book develops the theory to put them on a rigorous footing. It may be considered as an explication of the Kleinian view of geometry a la Erlangen Programme. The treatment in the book, however, goes beyond the Kleinian view of geometry.<br/><br/>Some noteworthy topics presented include ...<br/>various results about triangles (including results on areas of geodesic triangles) in Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical planes<br/>affine and projective classification of conics<br/>twopoint homogeneity of the three planes and<br/>the fact that the set of distance-preserving maps (isometries) are essentially the same as the set of lengths-preserving maps of these planes.<br/>Geometric intuition is emphasized throughout the book. Figures are included wherever needed. The book has several exercises varying from computational problems to investigative or explorative open questions. |
