Title: A Course in Modern Geometries ([EBook] /) / by Judith N. Cederberg. Dewey Class: 516 Author: Cederberg, Judith N. Publication: New York, NY : : Springer New York : : Imprint: Springer,, 1989. Other name(s): SpringerLink (Online service) Physical Details: XII, 233 p. 77 illus. : online resource. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics,0172-6056 ISBN: 9781475738315 System details note: Online access to this digital book is restricted to subscription institutions through IP address (only for SISSA internal users) Summary Note: A Course in Modern Geometries is designed for a junior-senior level course for mathematics majors, including those who plan to teach in secondary school. Chapter 1 presents several finite geometries in an axiomatic framework. Chapter 2 introduces Euclid's geometry and the basic ideas of non-Euclidean geometry. The synthetic approach of Chapters 1 - 2 is followed by the analytic treatment of transformations of the Euclidean plane in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 presents plane projective geometry both synthetically and analytically. The extensive use of matrix representations of groups of transformations in Chapters 3 - 4 reinforces ideas from linear algebra and serves as excellent preparation for a course in abstract algebra. Each chapter includes a list of suggested sources for applications and/or related topics.: Contents note: 1 Axiomatic Systems and Finite Geometries -- 2 Non-Euclidean Geometry -- 3 Geometric Transformations of the Euclidean Plane -- 4 Projective Geometry -- Appendixes -- A.
