in Euclidean concepts, the book: Builds an appreciation of the geometric nature of linear algebra Expands students' understanding of abstract algebra with its nontraditional, geometry- driven approach Demonstrates how one branch of mathematics can be used to prove theorems in another Provides opportunities for further investigation of mathematics by various means, including historical references at the ends of chapters Throughout, the text explores geometry's correlation to algebra in ways that are meant to foster inquiry and develop mathematical insights whether or not one has a background in algebra. The insight offered is particularly important for prospective secondary teachers who must major in the subject they teach to fulfill the licensing requirements of many states. Affine and Projective Geometry's broad scope and its communicative tone make it an ideal choice for all students and professionals who would like to further their understanding of thingsmathematical.
