Projective Geometry V1 (1910) - Oswald Veblen - Bog

Projective Geometry V1 is a mathematical treatise written by Oswald Veblen and published in 1910. The book is a comprehensive study of projective geometry, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of geometric figures that remain unchanged when they are projected onto a plane or a higher-dimensional space. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different aspect of projective geometry. Part I focuses on the foundations of the subject, including the basic concepts of points, lines, and planes, as well as the axioms and theorems that underlie projective geometry. Part II delves deeper into the subject, exploring topics such as projective transformations, conic sections, and quadrics. Part III is devoted to the study of higher-dimensional projective geometry, including the geometry of space curves and surfaces.Throughout the book, Veblen presents the material in a rigorous yet accessible manner, making use of clear and concise language and numerous diagrams to aid in understanding. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, as well as researchers and practitioners in the field. It remains a classic text in the study of projective geometry and a valuable resource for anyone interested in this fascinating branch of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
