VERY GOOD: This book is in very good condition, showing only the slightest sign of use and wear mostly on the cover corners.
Product Details
From the back cover: "Geometry is probably the most accessible branch of mathematics, and therefore can provide an easy route to understanding some of the more complex ideas that mathematics can present.
"This book on geometry is intended to introduce readers to the major geometrical topics taught at undergraduate level, in a manner that is both accessible and rigorous. The author uses world measurement as a synonym for geometry—hence the importance of numbers, coordinates and their manipulation—and has included over 300 exercises, with answers to most of them. The text includes such topics as:
Coordinates
Euclidean plane geometry
Complex numbers
Solid geometry
Conics and quadratic surfaces
Spherical geometry
Quaternions
"The book will be suitable for all undergraduate geometry courses, but will also be a useful resource for advanced sixth formers [UK students aged 16-18], research mathematicians, and those taking courses in Physics, Introductory Astronomy and other science subjects."
