Synopsis
Master the essentials of projective geometry with a classic English translation of a foundational text.
This edition presents rigorous explanations and a wealth of geometric constructions, guiding readers from basic concepts to more advanced techniques.
The work covers key ideas in projective geometry through clear exposition and practical problems. Readers will encounter methods for analyzing figures, identifying conjugate elements, and performing constructions that reveal the structure of geometric relations. The material emphasizes concrete techniques, illustrated by diagrams and step-by-step reasoning that stay focused on the premise and its implications.
- Core concepts like involutions on a line, conjugate rays, and double points
- Geometric constructions using circles, tangents, chords, and projections
- Problem-driven approach with worked examples to build intuition
- Accessible yet thorough presentation suitable for study and reference
Ideal for students of geometry and readers who value classic mathematical treatment presented in clear, practical terms.

Elements of Projective Geometry: Translated by Charles Leudesdorf
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration into Projective Geometry, the study of geometric figures and their properties as they are affected by projection, a mathematical operation with a long and fascinating history in art and architecture. The author takes a very hands-on approach, with the first half of the book devoted to establishing and describing geometric forms common to Projective Geometry. The latter half of the book is dedicated to applying these foundational principles to diverse geometry problems, with the intent of furnishing readers with the experience and tools required to apply Projective Geometry to other realms of study, like perspective drawing or computer graphics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440089213_0
