The Principles of Projective Geometry (Classic Reprint): Applied to the Straight Line and Conic - Softcover
Synopsis
The Principles of Projective Geometry: Applied to the Straight Line and Conic offers a clear path through the core ideas of, and methods in, projective geometry. This edition presents how lines, points, and conics relate under projective transformations, with concrete constructions and classic theorems guiding you step by step.
Readers will see how polarity, poles and polars, and the anharmonic property of conics come together to describe geometric figures, solve problems, and reveal underlying structures. The text blends definitions, theorems, and worked examples to build a practical understanding that supports both study and reference work.
- How conics interact with lines, points, and tangents through pole-polar relationships
- Ways to use harmonic ranges and involutions to analyze shapes and their projections
- Key theorems such as Pascal, Carnot, and Desargues, and their corollaries for pairs of lines and points
- Connections between real and imaginary elements, and how circles fit into a broader projective framework
Ideal for students and enthusiasts of geometry, the book supports a structured approach to advanced topics while remaining accessible to those building a foundation in projective methods.
