Geometry and Its Applications by Walter Meyer

Geometry and Its Applications by Walter Meyer

This unique textbook combines traditional geometry with current ideas to present a contemporary approach that is grounded in real-world applications. It balances introduces axiomatic, Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and examples throughout and includes historical notes.

"Geometry and its Applications, 3rd edition, offers an impressive table of contentsIt covers the usual topics yet goes further by covering other aspects not usually found in an introductory geometry textbook. The book covers the basics of axiomatic geometry with chapters on Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry incorporating material on hyperbolic and spherical geometries. It includes a series of chapters on transformation geometry, covering isometries, symmetries, similarity, inversion, and projections. Linear algebra is used to study a variety of geometric problems. Some aspects of graph theory related to geometry are introduced in a final chapter.
A key strength of this book is its strong coverage of many diverse applications of geometry. The author’s background in industry has clearly helped him to present these applications in a nature and understandable way. With over 300 updated applications, many new exercises, and an emphasis on computer science-related applications appeals to student interest this new edition has been streamlined to tighten the presentation."
