Description for Modern Geometry with Applications
Paperback. Presents an introduction to the theory and applications of modern geometry. Besides Special Relativity, this book covers two other areas of non-Euclidean geometry: spherical geometry (used in navigation and astronomy) and projective geometry (used in art). It also reviews many topics from Euclidean geometry, emphasizing transformations. Series: Universitext. Num Pages: 212 pages, 150 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (UF) Further/Higher Education; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 219 x 101 x 11. Weight in Grams: 304.
This book is an introduction to the theory and applications of "modern geometry" ~ roughly speaking, geometry that was developed after Euclid. It covers three major areas of non-Euclidean geometry and their applica tions: spherical geometry (used in navigation and astronomy), projective geometry (used in art), and spacetime geometry (used in the Special The ory of Relativity). In addition it treats some of the more useful topics from Euclidean geometry, focusing on the use of Euclidean motions, and includes a chapter on conics and the orbits of planets. My aim in writing this book was to balance theory with applications. ... Read more
