About this book
: |
 |
|
This lucid and accessible textbook provides an
introductory guide to projective geometry, |
|
an area of mathematics concerned with the properties
and invariants of geometric figures |
|
under projection. Including numerous worked examples
and exercises throughout, the |
|
textbook covers axiomatic geometry, field planes and
PG(r,F) coordinatising a projective |
|
plane, non-Desarguesian planes, conics and quadrics
in PG(3,F). Assuming familiarity |
|
with linear algebra, elementary group theory, partial
differentiation and finite fields, as |
|
well as some elementary coordinate geometry, this
text is ideal for 3rd and 4th year |
|
mathematics undergraduates. |
