This book offers a comprehensive introduction to this fascinating field and its applications.In particular, itexplains how metric concepts may be best understood inprojective terms. One of the major themes that appears throughout this book is the beauty of the interplaybetweengeometry, algebra and combinatorics. This book can especially be used as a guide that explains how geometric objectsand operations may be most elegantly expressed in algebraic terms, making it a va luable resource for mathematicians, as well as for computer scientists and physicists. The book is based on the authors experience in implementinggeometric software and includes hundreds ofhigh-qualityillustrations Note: Springer eBooks Contents: 1 Pappos's Theorem: Nine Proofs and Three Variations 2 Projective Planes 3 Homogeneous Coordinates 4 Lines and Cross Ratios 5 Calculating with Points on Lines 6 Determinants 7 More on Bracket Algebra 8 Quadrilateral Sets and Liftings 9 Conics and Their Duals 10 Conics and Perspectivity 11 Calculating with Conics 12 Projective $d$ space 13 Diagram Techniques 14 Working with diagrams 15 Configurations, Theorems, and Bracket Expressions 16 Complex Numbers: A Primer 17 The Complex Projective Line 18 Euclidean Geometry 19 Euclidean Structures fr ISBN: 9783642172861 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Mathematics and Statistics (Springer-11649) Keywords: Mathematics , Algebra , Algorithms , Visualization , Geometry , Discrete groups Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

The fact that the topics are introduced in their historical contexts will enable students to better appreciate and understand the mathematical ideas involved...If one constructs a list of topicscentral to a history course, then they would closely resem ble those chosen here. (David Parrott, Australian Mathematical Society) The book...is presented in a lively style without unnecessary detail. It is very stimulating and willbe appreciated not only by students. Much attention is paid to problems and to the development of mathematics before the end of the nineteenth century... This book brings to the non-specialist interested in mathematics many interestingresults. It can be recommended for seminars and will be enjoyed by the broad mathematical community. ( European Mathematical Society) Since Stillwell treats many topics, most mathematicians will learn a lot from this book as well asthey will find pleasant and rather clear expositions of custom materials. The book is accessible to students that have already experienced calculus, algebra and geometry and will give them a good account of how the different branchesof mathematics interact. (Denis Bonheure, Bulletin of the Belgian Society) This third edition includes new chapters on simple groups and combinatori cs, and new sections on several topics, including the Poincare conjecture. The bookhas also been enriched by added exercises Note: Springer eBooks Contents: The Theorem of Pythagoras Greek Geometry Greek Number Theory Infinity in Greek Mathematics Number Theory in Asia Polynomial Equations Analytic Geometry Projective Geometry Calculus Infinite Series The Number Theory Revival Elliptic Functions Mechanics Complex Numbers in Algebra Complex Numbers and Curves Complex Numbers and Functions Differential Geometry Non Euclidean Geometry Group Theory Hypercomplex Numbers Algebraic Number Theory Topology Simple Groups Sets, Logic, and Computation Combinatorics ISBN: 9781441960535 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics, 0172-6056 Series: Mathematics and Statistics (Springer-11649) Keywords: Mathematics , Global analysis (Mathematics) , Geometry , Mathematics_$xHistory , Number theory Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

The book begins with an introduction to the geometry of complex manifolds and their submanifolds and describes the properties of hypersurfaces and CR submanifolds, withparticular emphasis on CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension. The second part contains results which are not new, but recently published in some mathematical journals. The final part contains several original results by the authors,with complete proofs. Key features of CR Submanifolds of Complex Projecti ve Space: - Presents recent developments and results in the study of submanifolds previously published only in research papers. - Special topics exploredinclude: the Khler manifold, submersion and immersion, codimension reduction of a submanifold, tubes o ver submanifolds, geometry of hypersurfaces and CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension. - Provides relevant techniques, resultsand their applications, and presents insight into the motivations and ideas behind the theory. - Presents the fundamental defin itions and results necessary for reaching the frontiers of research in this field. This text is largelyself-contained. Prerequisites include basic knowledge of introductory manifold theory and of curvature properties of Riemannian geometry. Advanced under graduates, graduate students and researchers in differential geometry will benefitfrom this concise approach to an important topic Note: Springer eBooks Contents: 1.

Based on the latest historical research, the book is aimed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students inmathematics but will also appeal to the reader with a general interest in the history of mathematics. Emphasis is placed on understanding the historical significance of the new mathematics: Why was it done? How - if at all - was itappreciated? What new questions did it generate? Topics covered in the first part of the book are projective geometry, especially the concept of duality, and non-Euclidean geometry. The book then moves on to the study of the singularpoints of algebraic curves (Plckers equations) and their role in resolving a p aradox in the theory of duality to Riemanns work on differential geometry and to Beltramis role in successfully establishing non-Euclideangeometry as a rigorous mathematical subject. The final part of the book considers how projective geometry, as exempli fied by Kleins Erlangen Program, rose to prominence, and looks at Poincars ideas about non-Euclidean geometryand their physical and philosophical significance. It then concludes with discussions on geometry and formalism, examining the Italian contributio n and Hilberts Foundations of Geometry geometry and physics, with a look at some ofEinsteins ideas and geometry and truth. Three chapters are devoted to writing and assessing work in the history of mathematics, with examples of sample questions in the sub ject, advice on how to write essays, and comments on whatinstructors should be looking for Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Mathematics in the French Revolution Poncelet (and Pole and Polar) Theorems in Projective Geometry Poncelets Trait Duality and the Duality Controversy Poncelet, Chasles, and the Early Years of Projective Geometry Euclidean Geometry, the Parallel Postulate, and the Work of Lambert and Legendre Gauss (Schweikart and Taurinus) and Gausss Differential Geometry Jnos Bolyai Lobachevskii Publication and Non Reception up to 1855 On Writing the History of Geometry 1 Across the Rhine Mbiuss Algebraic Version of Projective Geometry Plcker, H ISBN: 9780857290601 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series, 1615-2085 Series: Mathematics and Statistics (Springer-11649) Keywords: Mathematics , Geometry , Mathematics_$xHistory Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.
