Principles of Geometry

Klappentext A benchmark study of projective geometry and the birational theory of surfaces, first published between 1922 and 1925. Zusammenfassung Henry Frederick Baker (1866–1956) was a renowned British mathematician specialising in algebraic geometry. First published between 1922 and 1925, this work provides a detailed insight into the geometry which was developing at the time of publication. Volume 4 describes the principal configurations of space of four and five dimensions. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introductory.
