63. Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries: Development and History by Marvin J. Greenberg | |

Editorial Review Product Description This is the definitive presentation of the history, development and philosophical significance of non-Euclidean geometry as well as of the rigorous foundations for it and for elementary Euclidean geometry, essentially according to Hilbert. Appropriate for liberal arts students, prospective high school teachers, math. majors, and even bright high school students. The first eight chapters are mostly accessible to any educated reader; the last two chapters and the two appendices contain more advanced material, such as the classification of motions, hyperbolic trigonometry, hyperbolic constructions, classification of Hilbert planes and an introduction to Riemannian geometry.

Geometric Overview of Core Math and Physics +++
A bit longwinded
Must have if on the road to Linear Algebra
A useful High School Geometry book for Computer Graphics The almost four hundred pages book is remarkably readable and is very consistent at that.There are both worked out examples and exercise problems, for each section - which are very useful for self-study or revision. If you have never had an introduction to linear algebra before, you may have to supplement this with a linear algebra book.But if you have not had a good course in elementary geometry, and your motivation is getting started with elementary Computer Graphics/CAD and the likes, this is a good book for that. Interspersed with the subject matter discussed at a elementary level, in a useful, stimulating style are small, interesting discussions on such useful and relatively advanced topics as function spaces, fixed point theorem in affine transformation, simplices, symmetries etc.I rarely have seen any of these topics mentioned in a book aimed at this level. Highly recommended for freshman undergraduates and those without any mathematics experience who want to start in Graphics, CAD, CAGD and the likes.Recommended also for experienced practitioners in Graphics: it is good to review the fundamentals once in a while, and a well written bookthat is a quick read helps at that!
Perfect for first and second year, or physicists It is a formal math book, with axioms, but it is strong on motivation and has some quite amusing examples. Keywords: tangent spaces, determinants, barycentric, linear transformations. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description The language is purposefully kept on an elementary level, avoiding sheaf theory and cohomology theory. The introduction of new algebraic concepts is always motivated by a discussion of the corresponding geometric ideas. The main point of the book is to illustrate the interplay between abstract theory and specific examples. The book contains numerous problems that illustrate the general theory. The text is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It contains sufficient material for a one-semester course. The reader should be familiar with the basic concepts of modern algebra. A course in one complex variable would be helpful, but is not necessary. It is also an excellent text for those working in neighboring fields (algebraic topology, algebra, Lie groups, etc.) who need to know the basics of algebraic geometry. Customer Reviews (1)

Excellent text, obfuscated code
collates useful computational geometric algorithms
Nice balance of theory with code The mode of presentation -- supporting a discussion of the theories with implementable code -- is actually a bit refreshing.For comparison:Other books, when discussing the line segment intersection problem (ie: Given a set of line segments, find all of their intersection points) simply assume that computing the intersection of a pair of segments can be done in constant time.This is not an especially difficult problem, but the discussion seems more complete with a brief description of how this might be done.The same can be said about other primitive tests and operations in other algorithms. Overall, this book can stand alone as an excellent introduction to computational geometry, but a serious student in the subject will want more: perhaps Preparata and Shamos or de Berg et. al.
Very hepful The ability to visualize objects in an abstract subject like algebraic geometry boils down to, in the case of toric varieties, to a consideration of how to manipulate polytopes geometrically. A major portion of the book, if not all of it, is devoted to the computational geometry of polyhedra. Because it is an introductory book, some more advanced topics, such as Bayesian methods to find similarities between polyhedra, and neural network approaches to classifying polyhedral objects are not treated. Readers who need to do such things will be well-prepared for them after a study of this book. In addition, there are good exercises assigned at the end of each chapter, so the book could be used in the classroom. Some readers will however choose to use it as a reference source, and it would be a good one, for the author gives references to topics that he only touched upon in the book. Some particular areas that were treated especially well were: 1. The discussion on data structures for surfaces of polyhedra. Although not very general, since he choose to deal with only triangulated polytopes, readers who need to be more general will have a good start in this discussion. 2. The discussion on volume overflow and how to deal with it using robust computation. 3. The discussion, albeit short, of the randomized incremental algorithm. 4. The treatment on the minimum spanning tree and Kruskal's algorithm. Communication network performance optimization is now a major application of this algorithm and others in graph theory, including the author's later discussion of Dijkstra's algorithm.

Very Good for the interested reader Excellent background reading for a teacher!
Classic problems of geometry made simple
Well done.. Thetitle describes the book perfectly.These really are "Famous Problemsfrom Geometry" and he does indeed explain how to solve them. Thebook has four major sections/chapters.He discusses in detail the threeproblems from antiquity (one section each):squaring a circle, doubling acube, and trisecting an angle.Furthermore, he spends significant timewith constructions of regular polygons (the fourth section) - which onescan be constructed and why. He also discusses which ones cannot beconstructed and why. The reader will be expected to understand conceptsfrom Modern Algebra, particularly the concept of a Field.While Bold doesspend time explaining what a Field is, his definition is quick and isassumed to be more of a refresher for someone who has already learned aboutthem.Bold also has a section on Complex Numbers where he derives one ofthe formulas used later in the book.Again - this section is assumed to bea refresher on Complex Numbers.High School Geometry or Algebra studentswould have significant trouble understanding his explanations andproofs. Bold provides problems for the reader to work along the way. These are problems that logically lead to the proof of the problem beingstudied.The problems are good.As a third year college student majoringin mathematics, I found the explanations/solutions to be sometimes hard tofollow.He assumes a great deal about the reader's level of proficiency inmath and in geometry.As a result, he liberally skips steps in proofs thatare assumed to be "obvious." If you're expecting simple proofsto these problems, you're not going to find them.If they were simple,they wouldn't have taken 2000 years to solve.But they are explainedclearly here in terms that anyone with a college degree should be able tounderstand. Overall, a superb book.A must have for anyone interestedin the famous problems from the history of Geometry. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description For courses in Geometry or Geometry for Future Teachers. This popular book has four main goals: 1. to help students become better problem solvers, especially in solving common application problems involving geometry; 2. to help students learn many properties of geometric figures, to verify them using proofs, and to use them to solve applied problems; 3. to expose students to the axiomatic method of synthetic Euclidean geometry at an appropriate level of sophistication; and 4. to provide students with other methods for solving problems in geometry, namely using coordinate geometry and transformation geometry. Beginning with informal experiences, the book gradually moves toward more formal proofs, and includes special topics sections. Customer Reviews (3)
