Introduction to Hyperbolic Geometry (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This text for advanced undergraduates emphasizes the logical connections of the subject. Elementary techniques from complex analysis, matrix theory, and group theory are used, and some mathematical sophistication on the part of students is thus required, but a formal course in these topics is not a prerequisite.

Rezensionen

"The book is well laid out with no shortage of diagrams and with each chapter prefaced with its own useful introduction...Also well written, it makes pleasurable reading." Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
