Product Description
by David Hilbert (Author), E. J. Townsend (Translator)
The Foundations of Geometry is a book written by the renowned mathematician David Hilbert. The book is a comprehensive study of the principles and axioms of geometry. It was first published in 1899 and has since become a classic in the field of mathematics.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the axioms of geometry and their implications. Hilbert presents a rigorous and systematic approach to the study of geometry, starting with the basic concepts of points, lines, and planes. He then goes on to develop the axioms of incidence, order, congruence, and continuity. The second part of the book deals with the applications of geometry to other areas of mathematics, such as algebra and calculus.Hilbert's approach to geometry is highly influential and has had a significant impact on the development of mathematics in the 20th century. His work has been instrumental in the development of modern algebraic geometry and topology.Overall, The Foundations of Geometry is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of mathematics. It is a classic work that continues to be relevant and influential in the field of mathematics today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
