Synopsis

""Projective Geometry and Projective Metrics"" by Herbert Busemann is a comprehensive introduction to the field of projective geometry and its applications in projective metrics. The book covers the fundamental concepts of projective geometry, including projective transformations, cross ratios, and duality, and explores their applications in various areas such as optics, computer graphics, and physics. The book also delves into the theory of projective metrics, which involves measuring distances and angles in projective space, and discusses its applications in differential geometry and relativity theory. The text is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous examples and exercises to aid in understanding. This book is ideal for mathematicians and physicists interested in projective geometry and its applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
