Description
Geometry A Very Short Introduction by Maciej Dunajski The study of geometry has a rich history spanning over 2500 years, with the concept of mathematical proof emerging within this field. Today, geometry remains an active area of research in mathematics. This book provides an overview of the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, covering topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, curved spaces, projective geometry, and the geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Maciej Dunajski begins with concrete examples and progresses to general principles, outlining the role geometry plays in science and art. A Very Short Introduction series book that is perfect for those looking to quickly get ahead in this subject area, combining facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting topics highly readable.
