A great assist in learning Geometry is a Formula study guide. Any student will find a study guide useful. Study guides should be clear and concise, grouping different functions in one area. For example A Geometric Formula study guide would have groups based on lines, angles or polygons. Each item of the group should have a basic definition and the formulas related to the specific subsections, such as a right angle. Study guides are a great way to...

Description
Theorems stating the existence of an object-such as the solution to a problem or equation-are known as existence theorems. This text examines fundamental and general existence theorems, along with the Picard iterants, and applies them to properties of solutions and linear differential equations. The authors assume a basic knowledge of real function theory, and for certain specialized results, of elementary functions of a complex variable. They do...

Description
Based on a historic approach taken by instructors at MIT, this text is geared toward junior and senior undergraduate courses in analytic and projective geometry. Starting with concepts concerning points on a line and lines through a point, it proceeds to the geometry of plane and space, leading up to conics and quadrics developed within the context of metrical, affine, and projective transformations. The algebraic treatment is occasionally exchanged...

Description
In recent decades twistor theory has become an important focus for students of mathematical physics. Central to twistor theory is the geometrical transform known as the Penrose transform, named for its groundbreaking developer. Geared toward students of physics and mathematics, this advanced text explores the Penrose transform and presupposes no background in twistor theory and a minimal familiarity with representation theory. An introductory chapter...
