Description

In recent decades research into the foundations of geometry has completely transformed the field and created a need for new methods of presenting geometry at the university level. Rudiments of Plane Affine Geometry develops rigorously and clearly one geometric theory accessible to the reader with no previous experience. It reflects the spirit and displays some of the basic ideas of modern geometric axiomatics. The volume is intended for undergraduates with a modest knowledge of algebra and linear algebra and provides a sound introduction to deductive geometry.
