Product Name: A Course in Modern Geometries
Manufacturer: Judith N. Cederberg
Product Features :
Product Description :
Designed for a junior-senior level course for mathematics majors, including those who plan to teach in secondary school.The first chapter presents several finite geometries in an axiomatic framework, while Chapter 2 continues the synthetic approach in introducing both Euclids and ideas of non-Euclidean geometry.There follows a new introduction to symmetry and hands-on explorations of isometries that precedes an extensive analytic treatment of similarities and affinities.Chapter 4 presents plane projective geometry both synthetically and analytically, and the new Chapter 5 uses a descriptive and exploratory approach to introduce chaos theory and fractal geometry, stressing the self-similarity of fractals and their generation by transformations from Chapter 3.Throughout, each chapter includes a list of suggested resources for applications or related topics in areas such as art and history, plus this second edition points to Web locations of author-developed guides for dynamic software explorations of the Poincare model, isometries, projectivities, conics and fractals.Parallel versions are available for "Cabri Geometry" and "Geometers Sketchpad".
