Transformation Geometry: An Introduction to Symmetry

by George E. Martin

Book Overview

Transformation geometry is a relatively recent expression of the successful venture of bringing together geometry and algebra. The name describes an approach as much as the content. Our subject is Euclidean geometry. Essential to the study of the plane or any mathematical system is an under- standing of the transformations on that system that preserve designated features of the system. Our study of the automorphisms of the plane and of space is based...
