<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Concise review examines geometry of the straight line, circle, plane, and sphere as well as associated configurations, including the triangle and the cylinder. Suitable for university undergraduates and advanced high school students. 1962 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This concise review examines the geometry of the straight line, circle, plane, and sphere as well as their associated configurations, including the triangle and the cylinder. Aimed at university undergraduates, the treatment is also useful for advanced students at the secondary level.<br>The straightforward approach begins with a recapitulation of previous work on the subject, proceeding to explorations of advanced plane geometry, solid geometry with some reference to the geometry of the sphere, and a chapter on the nature of space, including considerations of such properties as congruence, similarity, and symmetry. The text concludes with a brief account of the elementary transformations of projection and inversion. Numerous examples appear throughout the book.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Scottish mathematician Edward Arnold Maxwell (1907-87) was a Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, and the author of several university-level math texts.
