Bøker av Oswald Veblen

Projective Geometry is a rigorous study of the properties of geometric figures and transformations that preserve their underlying structure. In this book, Veblen presents a clear and comprehensive introduction to this important mathematical discipline, providing readers with the tools they need to understand and apply projective geometry to a wide range of problems. With numerous examples and exercises, this book is an essential resource for students and professionals in mathematics, physics, and engineering.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

This book contains a set of axioms for differential geometry and develops their consequences up to a point where a more advanced book might reasonably begin.

Written in the wake of the advent of Relativity by an author who made important contributions to projective and differential geometry, and topology, this early Cambridge Tract in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics aimed to assist students of the time from the fields of differential geometry and mathematical physics.
