9781258438197: Vector Geometry

Synopsis

""Vector Geometry"" by Gilbert De Beauregard Robinson is a comprehensive guide to the study of vectors and their application in geometry. The book covers a wide range of topics, including vector algebra, scalar products, vector products, triple products, and applications of vectors in geometry. It also delves into the geometry of lines, planes, and surfaces, as well as the geometry of curves and surfaces in three-dimensional space. The book is designed for students and professionals in mathematics, physics, engineering, and other related fields who are interested in learning about vectors and their applications in geometry. With clear explanations and numerous examples, ""Vector Geometry"" is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this important mathematical concept.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This brief undergraduate-level text by a prominent Cambridge-educated mathematician explores the relationship between algebra and geometry. An elementary course in plane geometry is the sole requirement for Gilbert de B. Robinson's text, which is the result of several years of teaching and learning the most effective methods from discussions with students. Topics include lines and planes, determinants and linear equations, matrices, groups and linear transformations, and vectors and vector spaces. Additional subjects range from conics and quadrics to homogeneous coordinates and projective geometry, geometry on the sphere, and reduction of real matrices to diagonal form. Exercises appear throughout the text, with complete answers at the end.
