The Poincaré Half-plane: A Gateway to Modern Geometry

Εξώφυλλο
Jones & Bartlett Learning, 1993 - 298 σελίδες
The Poincare Half-Planeprovides an elementary and constructive development of this geometry that brings the undergraduate major closer to current geometric research. At the same time, repeated use is made of high school geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, thus reinforcing the students' understanding of these disciplines as well as enhancing their perception of mathematics as a unified endeavor.
