TAYLOR & FRANCIS Geometry And Its Applications 3Ed (Hb 2022) by MEYER W.J.
This unique textbook combines traditional geometry presents a contemporary approach that is grounded in real-world applications. It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, introduces axiomatic, Euclidean and non-Euclidean, and transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and examples throughout. The Third Edition offers many updates, including expaning on historical notes, Geometry and Its Applications is a significant text for any college or university that focuses on geometry's usefulness in other disciplines. It is especially appropriate for engineering and science majors, as well as future mathematics teachers.The Third Edition streamlines the treatment from the previous two editionsTreatment of axiomatic geometry has been expandedNearly 300 applications from all fields are includedAn emphasis on computer science-related applications appeals to student interestMany new excercises keep the presentation fresh Chapter 1The Axiomatic Method in GeometryChapter 2The Eucidean HeritageChapter 3Non-Euclidean GeometryChapter 4Transformation Geometry I: IsometriesChapter 5Vectors in GeometryChapter 6Transformation Geometry II: Isometries and MatricesChapter 7Transformation Geometry III: Similarity, Inversion and Projections Chapter 8Graphs, Maps and Polyhedra
