Projective Geometry

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This book introduces the basic ideas of mathematical proof to students embarking on university mathematics. The emphasis is on helping the reader to understand and construct proofs and write clear mathematics. The authors achieve this by exploring set theory, combinatorics and number theory, which include many fundamental mathematical ideas.

Projective geometry, and the Cayley-Klein geometries embedded into it, were originated in the 19th century. It is one of the foundations of algebraic geometry and has many applications to differential geometry.
