[Nobel Laureate Donald Glaser's copy, with spine label of his personal research library. For more books from Glaser's library, search using the keycode: GLSR. Glaser won the Nobel Prize f…or Physics in 1961 for the invention of the Bubble Chamber.] Covers the geometry usually included in undergraduate and first-year graduate course in mathematics, except for the theory of convex sets. Based on a course given by the author for several years at the University of Minnesota, the main purpose of the book is to increase geometrical, and therefore mathematical, understanding, and help students enjoy geometry. -- back coverContents: Preliminary notions. Vectors. Circles. Coaxal systems of circles. The representation of circles by points in space of three dimensions. Mappings of the euclidean plane. Mappings of the inversive plane. Projective plane and projective space. The projective geometry of n dimensions. The projective generation of conics and quadrics. Prelude to algebraic geometry. Notes: Reprint. Originally published: A course of geometry for colleges and universities. London: Cambridge University Press, 1970. Very good; wraps are a tad edgeworn; ex-library with sticker to spine and Glaser's name stamp on front flyleaf; some bookmarks and very sparse highlighting in first 100 pages; well-loved and still very readable, tightly bound.
