   Extractions: Note: the following has been abstracted from the Grolier Encyclopedia. Euclidean geometry is the study of points, lines, planes, and other geometric figures, using a modified version of the assumptions of Euclid (c.300 BC). The most controversial assumption has been the parallel postulate: there is one and only one line that contains a given point and is parallel to a given line. The development of Euclidean geometry extends at least from 10,000 BC to the 20th century. In the 4th century BC, Plato founded an Academy in Athens, emphasized geometry, and used the five regular Polyhedrons in his explanation of the scientific phenomena of the universe. Aristotle, a student of Plato at the Academy, identified the rules for logical reasoning. The 13 books of Euclid's Elements are based on the mathematics that was considered at Plato's Academy. The geometry in the Elements was a logical system based on ten assumptions. Five of the assumptions were called common notions (Axioms, or self-evident truths), and the other five were postulates (required conditions). The resulting logical system was taken as a model for deductive reasoning and had a profound effect on all branches of knowledge. Although it has been necessary to refine the postulates as concepts of existence, continuity, order, and other aspects of Geometry have changed, the resulting geometry is still called Euclidean geometry. Modifications of Euclid's parallel postulate provide the basis for

David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding , Section IV, Part I, p. 20 [L.A. Shelby-Bigge, editor, Oxford University Press, 1902, 1972, p. 25] [ note Until recently, Albert Einstein's complaints in his later years about the intelligibility of Quantum Mechanics often led philosophers and physicists to dismiss him as, essentially, an old fool in his dotage. Happily, this kind of thing is now coming to an end as a philosophers and mathematicians of the caliber of Karl Popper and Roger Penrose conspicuously point out the continuing conceptual difficulties of quantum theory [cf. Penrose's searching discussion in The Emperor's New Mind reductio ad absurdum argument against A fine statement about all this can be found in Joseph Agassi's foreword to the recent Einstein Versus Bohr , by the dissident physicist Mendel Sachs (Open Court, 1991): It is amazing that such things need to be said, and it is particularly revealing that the responses Agassi got to his questions reminded him of the intolerance of religious dogmatism.

    Extractions: Series: Spectrum A classic is back in print! No living geometer writes more clearly and beautifully about difficult topics than world famous professor H. S. M. Coxeter. When non-Euclidean geometry was first developed, it seemed little more than a curiosity with no relevance to the real world. Then to everyone's amazement, it turned out to be essential to Einstein's general theory of relativity! Coxeter's book has remained out of print for too long. Hats off to the MAA for making this classic available once more. -Doris Schattschneider H. S. M. Coxeter's classic book on non-Euclidean geometry was first published in 1942, and enjoyed eight reprintings before it went out of print in 1968. The MAA is delighted to be the publisher of the sixth edition of this wonderful book, updated with a new section 15.9 on the author's useful concept of inversive distance. Throughout most of this book, non-Euclidean geometries in spaces of two or three dimensions are treated as specializations of real projective geometry in terms of a simple set of axioms concerning points, lines, planes, incidence, order and continuity, with no mention of the measurement of distances or angles. This synthetic development is followed by the introduction of homogeneous coordinates, beginning with Von Staudt's idea of regarding points as entities that can be added or multiplied. Transformations that preserve incidence are called colineations. They lead in a natural way to elliptic isometries or "congruent transformations". Following a recommendation by Bertrand Russell, continuity is described in terms of

    Extractions: by H. S. M. Coxeter Coxeter's Non-Euclidean Geometry begins with a wonderful historical overview of the development of non-Euclidean geometry in the first chapter. Only a few proofs are given or sketched in this chapter. They flow with the prose and play an integral part in the understanding of the beginnings of hyperbolic, spherical, elliptic and differential geometry, among others. The mathematician, as well as the non-mathematician, is able to gain insights into these various types of geometry by the end of this chapter. For the remainder of the book, the historical aspects are never far from the mathematics. Many chapters begin with an introduction which puts the contents of the chapter into historical perspective. Coxeter uses comparisons, especially to Euclidean geometry, to aid in the understanding of other geometries. An example is found in chapter 8 where descriptive geometry (described as "high school geometry with congruence and parallelism left out") is compared to projective geometry. Coxeter takes us through the developments of real projective geometry, elliptic geometry in one, two and three dimensions, descriptive geometry and hyperbolic geometry in one and two dimensions. Though he introduces the elliptic metric "by means of absolute polarity" and could have introduced the hyperbolic metric in a similar fashion, he chose to "reverse the process" in order to "follow the historical development more closely". This not only gives the reader a different perspective, but once again reminds us of the historical perspective.
