Projective geometry is one of the most fundamental and at the same
time most beautiful branches of geometry. It can be considered the
common foundation of many other geometric disciplines like Euclidean
geometry, hyperbolic and elliptic geometry or even relativistic
space-time geometry. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to
this fascinating field and its applications. In particular,
it explains how metric concepts may be best understood in projective
terms. One of the major themes that appears throughout this book is
the beauty of the interplay between geometry, algebra and
combinatorics. This book can especially be used as a guide that
explains how geometric objects and operations may be most elegantly
expressed in algebraic terms, making it a valuable resource for
mathematicians, as well as for computer scientists and physicists. The
book is based on the author’s experience in implementing geometric
software and includes hundreds of high-quality illustrations.
