This richly illustrated and clearly written undergraduate textbook
captures the excitement and beauty of geometry. The approach is that
of Klein in his Erlangen programme: a geometry is a space together
with a set of transformations of the space. The authors explore
various geometries: affine, projective, inversive, hyperbolic and
elliptic. In each case they carefully explain the key results and
discuss the relationships between the geometries. New features in this
second edition include concise end-of-chapter summaries to aid student
revision, a list of further reading and a list of special symbols. The
authors have also revised many of the end-of-chapter exercises to make
them more challenging and to include some interesting new results.
Full solutions to the 200 problems are included in the text, while
complete solutions to all of the end-of-chapter exercises are
available in a new Instructors' Manual, which can be downloaded from
www.cambridge.org/9781107647831.
