Recensione

'... this is an introduction to global projective differential geometry offering felicitous choice of topics, leading from classical projective differential geometry to current fields of research in mathematics and mathematical physics. The reader is guided from simple facts concerning curves and derivatives to more involved problems and methods through a world of inspiring ideas, delivering insights in deep relations. Historical comments as well as stimulating exercises occur frequently throughout the text, making it suitable for teachings.' Zentralblatt MATH

Descrizione del libro

Ideas of projective geometry keep reappearing in seemingly unrelated fields of mathematics. This 2005 book provides a rapid route for graduate students and researchers to the frontiers of contemporary research in this evergreen subject. Exercises play a prominent role: historical and cultural comments relate the basic notions to a broader context.
