The first part of the book deals with the correlationbetween synthetic geometry and linear algebra. In the second part,geometry is used to introduce lattice theory, and the bookculminates with the fundamental theorem of projectivegeometry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While emphasizing affine geometry and its basis in Euclideanconcepts, the book:\u003cbr\u003e * Builds an appreciation of the geometric nature of linear algebra\u003cbr\u003e * Expands students' understanding of abstract algebra with itsnontraditional, geometry-driven approach\u003cbr\u003e * Demonstrates how one branch of mathematics can be used to provetheorems in another\u003cbr\u003e * Provides opportunities for further investigation of mathematicsby various means, including historical references at the ends ofchapters\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Throughout, the text explores geometry's correlation to algebra inways that are meant to foster inquiry and develop mathematicalinsights whether or not one has a background in algebra. Theinsight offered is particularly important for prospective secondaryteachers who must major in the subject they teach to fulfill thelicensing requirements of many states. Affine and ProjectiveGeometry's broad scope and its communicative tone make it an idealchoice for all students and professionals who would like to furthertheir understanding of things mathematical.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAffine Planes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Desarguesian Affine Planes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introducing Coordinates.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coordinate Projective Planes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Affine Space.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Projective Space.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lattices of Flats.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Collineations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematics%20%5BPB%5D%22\"\u003ePB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52458328850712,"sku":"9780471113157","price":149.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471113157.jpg?v=1785371043","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/affine-and-projective-geometry-hardback-9780471113157","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
