Renowned for its lucid yet meticulous exposition, this text follows the development of non-Euclidean geometry from a fundamental analysis of the concept of parallelism to such advanced topics as inversion and transformations. It features the relation between parataxy and parallelism, the absolute measure, the pseudosphere, and Gauss' proof of the defect-area theorem. 1914 edition. Includes 133 figures.Sommerville, Duncan M'Laren Young is the author of 'Elements Of Non-Euclidean Geometry ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780486442228 and ISBN 0486442225.
