Description
This new title in the Homework Helpers series will reinforce mathematical foundations and bolster students' confidence in geometry. The concepts are explained in everyday language before the examples are worked. Good habits, such as checking your answers after every problem, are reinforced. There are practice problems throughout the book, and the answers to all of the practice problems are included. The problems are solved clearly and systematically,...

Description
Geometry involves objects and the shapes of those objects. Shapes of objects consist of points, lines and circles. Geometry is used daily in the form of construction, navigation, mapping, surveying, architecture, crime scene investigations and even in billiards. Most sports use a geometric sphere called a ball. Courts and playing fields are made of geometric circles, arcs and lines. Where a player stands or moves to involves geometry. A chart showing...

Description
This text explores the methods of the projective geometry of the plane. Some knowledge of the elements of metrical and analytical geometry is assumed; a rigorous first chapter serves to prepare readers. Following an introduction to the methods of the symbolic notation, the text advances to a consideration of the theory of one-to-one correspondence. It derives the projective properties of the conic and discusses the representation of these properties...

Description
This concise review examines the geometry of the straight line, circle, plane, and sphere as well as their associated configurations, including the triangle and the cylinder. Aimed at university undergraduates, the treatment is also useful for advanced students at the secondary level. The straightforward approach begins with a recapitulation of previous work on the subject, proceeding to explorations of advanced plane geometry, solid geometry with...

Description
This introduction to algebraic geometry makes particular reference to the operation of inversion and is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics. One of the major contributions to the relatively small literature on inversive geometry, the text illustrates the field's applications to comparatively elementary and practical questions and offers a solid foundation for more advanced courses. The two-part treatment begins...

Description
This volume concerns different aspects of modern science that will bear on this geometry.
The sciences concerned are Chaos Theory, Relativity, Quantum Theory, Holography, and others. The book takes from these sciences only what the author sees as applying to the Geometry of Universal Mind. And, all things written here are brought back to the significance of meaning in modern life.

Description
The basics of geometry, lines, angles, planes, rays, are a great beginning. Geometry, which means "earth measure" is used to measure anything on earth. No matter what size a rectangle is, whether it be a computer chip, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, or a city block, you can always find its area by multiplying length by width. Readers also learn about polygons, triangles, circles, congruent figures, symmetry, and cones, as well as areas, perimeters,...

Description
A comprehensive approach to qualitative problems in intrinsic differential geometry, this text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students emphasizes cases in which geodesics possess only local uniqueness properties--and consequently, the relations to the foundations of geometry are decidedly less relevant, and Finsler spaces become the principal subject. This direct approach has produced many new results and has materially generalized many...

Since its initial publication in 1962, Professor Schwerdtfeger's illuminating book has been widely praised for generating a deeper understanding of the geometrical theory of analytic functions as well as of the connections between different branches of geometry. Its focus lies in the intersection of geometry, analysis, and algebra, with the exposition generally taking place on a moderately advanced level. Much emphasis, however, has been given to...

This introduction to Euclidean geometry emphasizes both the theory and the practical application of isometries and similarities to geometric transformations. Each chapter begins with an optional commentary on the history of geometry. Contents include modern elementary geometry, isometries and similarities in the plane, vectors and complex numbers in geometry, inversion, and isometries in space. Numerous exercises appear throughout the text, many of...
