Mathematics

• A modern approach based on the systematic use of transformations—Uses the complex plane and geometric transformations to present a wide variety of geometries.

  • Reflects a major theme in modern geometry. Ex.___

• Coverage of a great variety of geometries—Both non-Euclidean and nonmetric—e.g., Möbius geometry, hyperbolic plane geometry, elliptic plane geometry, absolute geometry, and projective geometry.

  • Gives students a comprehensive understanding of geometry. Ex.___

• Coverage of solid geometries—While most texts confine themselves to plane geometry, this text covers several different solid geometries, including multivariable projective geometry and the geometry of relativity (Pseudo-Euclidean Geometry).

• Significant modern applications of geometry—Including the geometry of relativity, symmetry, art and crystallography, finite geometry and computation.

• Synthetic methods—e.g., axiom systems for Euclidean and absolute geometry.

  • Demonstrates how axiomatics can clarify logical relationships among geometric concepts and among different geometries. Ex.___

• Flexible format and organization—Parts I, II, and VII are the core of the text; while the remaining Parts are almost independent of each other. A Dependency Chart indicates the relationship of various topics.

  • Enables instructors to construct a wide variety of different courses. Material from the independent Parts can be added to a syllabus, depending on the time available, and the interests of the instructor and students. Ex.___

• Accessible—Except for a few specific topics, only a level of mathematical sophistication of a standard course in multivariable calculus is required.

  • Makes content accessible at the undergraduate level. Ex.___

• Questions embedded in the text.

  • Test students' immediate understanding of topics under discussion to encourages active reading of the text. Ex.___

• Extensive problem sets—Over 500 problems, ranging from routine to difficult, many with accompanying hints and/or worked examples. Arranges problems by topic and subtopic within each chapter.

  • Provides a chance to test students' understanding. Ex.___

• NEW - A chapter on Matroids (Ch. 20).

• NEW - New coverage of Discrete Geometry—Includes finite projective geometry and combinational geometry.

  • Gives examples of the kinds of geometry particularly important in the contemporary computer age. Ex.___

• Abundant illustrations—Contains over 200 line drawings plus 7 plates.

  • Illustrates connections between geometry and art. Ex.___

• A chapter on Matroids (Ch. 20).

• New coverage of Discrete Geometry—Includes finite projective geometry and combinational geometry.

  • Gives examples of the kinds of geometry particularly important in the contemporary computer age. Ex.___
