Sinossi

This book offers a fresh and rigorous look at the foundations of geometry, a subject that has captivated mathematicians for centuries. It delves into the historical development of geometry, noting how it evolved beyond traditional deductive methods in the 19th century. The author emphasizes the need to re-establish the logical framework of geometry, highlighting the complexities of linear order and continuity. The book adopts a novel approach, focusing on general projective geometry â a highly abstract and powerful system â in its first volume, delaying the more complex issues of order and continuity for a second volume. This allows readers to grasp the fundamental concepts and theorems of projective geometry without being bogged down by technicalities. By studying projective geometry, readers gain a deeper understanding of its relationship to other geometrical disciplines like Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. The author uses both synthetic and analytic methods to illuminate the unifying principles of geometry, revealing the powerful connections between different branches of mathematics. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars seeking a thorough grounding in the principles and methods of projective geometry.
