A Modern View of Geometry

5 1/2 x 8", 191 pages. Today geometry more properly describes a point of view than it denotes any one branch of mathematics. The book discusses the postulational geometry of planes and emphasizes the coordinatization of affine and projective planes. The basicspine ends slightly bumped, otherwise Near Fine unity of algebra and geometry is made clear by showing how the algebraic structure of an abstract coordinate set is determined by the geometric structure that postulates impose on an abstract point set. spine ends slightly worn, otherwise Near Fine.
