Synopsis

This book offers a systematic and practical approach to understanding and applying projective geometry, a branch of mathematics that studies geometric properties independent of metric considerations. Pivotal in the development of the field, this volume provides a new foundation for geometry, laying bare its underlying principles through clear exposition and detailed analysis of foundational ideas. The author begins with the fundamental concepts, gradually building upon them to explore advanced topics such as involution, pencils and ranges of conics, and the application in mechanics. This logical progression makes projective geometry accessible to students and professionals alike, facilitating a deeper understanding of the subject. The insights offered in this book have had a profound impact on our understanding of geometry, and continue to be essential reading for anyone seeking to delve into this fascinating field, whether for academic pursuits or practical applications.
