The Geometry of Conics
Author: Charles TaylorCollineations and Conic Sections
Author: Christopher BaltusPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030462870
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
This volume combines an introduction to central collineations with an introduction to projective geometry, set in its historical context and aiming to provide the reader with a general history through the middle of the nineteenth century. Topics covered include but are not limited to: The Projective Plane and Central Collineations The Geometry of Euclid's Elements Conic Sections in Early Modern Europe Applications of Conics in History With rare exception, the only prior knowledge required is a background in high school geometry. As a proof-based treatment, this monograph will be of interest to those who enjoy logical thinking, and could also be used in a geometry course that emphasizes projective geometry.

The Universe of Conics
Author: Georg GlaeserPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662454505
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
This text presents the classical theory of conics in a modern form. It includes many novel results that are not easily accessible elsewhere. The approach combines synthetic and analytic methods to derive projective, affine and metrical properties, covering both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. With more than two thousand years of history, conic sections play a fundamental role in numerous fields of mathematics and physics, with applications to mechanical engineering, architecture, astronomy, design and computer graphics. This text will be invaluable to undergraduate mathematics students, those in adjacent fields of study, and anyone with an interest in classical geometry. Augmented with more than three hundred fifty figures and photographs, this innovative text will enhance your understanding of projective geometry, linear algebra, mechanics, and differential geometry, with careful exposition and many illustrative exercises.

Book Description
A first-year geometry teacher at King's College, London, UK guides the reader through the basic concepts and techniques of geometry, from Euclid through to algebraic geometry, in the most personable and friendly, yet stimulating, manner possible. With the stated purpose of exciting students to reason and calculate, the author borrows ideas and techniques from analysis and algebra, which he feels should ideally be studied alongside this material. Suitable for students who took little or no geometry at school, the text includes numerous exercises with answers provided. c. Book News Inc.
