About this title

Synopsis

Following a review of the basics of projective geometry, this text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students proceeds to discuss finite planes, field planes, and coordinates in an arbitrary plane. Additional topics include central collineations and the little Desargues' property, the fundamental theorem, some non-Desarguesian planes, and an appendix on the Bruck-Ryser theorem.
