Introduction to Geometry

This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition.

This undergraduate textbook attempts to revitalize the topic of geometry by emphasizing the idea of transformation and unusual environments such as affine space and absolute space. Novel topics include the use of dominoes to illustrate six of the 17 space groups of two-dimensional crystallography.
