Book Synopsis Modern Geometry with Applications by : George A. Jennings
Download or read book Modern Geometry with Applications written by George A. Jennings. This book was released on 2012-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to modern geometry differs from other books in the field due to its emphasis on applications and its discussion of special relativity as a major example of a non-Euclidean geometry. Additionally, it covers the two important areas of non-Euclidean geometry, spherical geometry and projective geometry, as well as emphasising transformations, and conics and planetary orbits. Much emphasis is placed on applications throughout the book, which motivate the topics, and many additional applications are given in the exercises. It makes an excellent introduction for those who need to know how geometry is used in addition to its formal theory.
