"Developed by Alain Connes, noncommutative geometry is the set of tools and methods that makes possible the classification and analysis of a broad range of objects beyond the reach of classical methods. This English version of the author's path-breaking French book on the subject gives the definitive treatment of his revolutionary approach to measure theory, geometry, and mathematical physics. Profusely illustrated and invitingly written, this book is ideal for anyone who wants to know what noncommutative geometry is, what it can do, or how it can be used in various areas of mathematics, quantization, and elementary particles and fields."
"Written primarily for readers who have completed the standard first courses in calculus and linear algebra, this second edition provides an introduction to the geometry of curves and surfaces. Although this edition extensively modifies the first edition, it maintains the elementary character of that volume, while providing an introduction to the use of computers and expanding discussion on certain topics."
"The main purpose of this book is to inform the reader about the formal, or axiomatic, development of Euclidean geometry. It follows Euclid's classic text Elements very closely, with an excellent organization of the subject matter, and over 1,000 practice exercises provide the reader with hands-on experience in solving geometrical problems. Providing a historical perspective about the study of plane geometry, this book covers such topics as other geometries, the neutral geometry of the triangle, non-neutral Euclidean geometry, circles and regular polygons, projective geometry, symmetries, inversions, informal topology, graphs, surfaces, and knots and links."
"This book has four main goals: 1. To help students become better problems solvers, especially in solving common application problems involving geometry.2. To help students learn many properties of geometric figures, to verify them using proofs, and to use them to solve applied problems.3. To expose students to the axiomatic method of synthetic Euclidean geometry at an appropriate level of sophistication.4. To provide students with other methods for solving problems in geometry, namely using coordinate geometry and transformation geometry."
"This interactive CD-ROM is a self-paced tutorial specifically linked to the text and reinforces topics through unlimited opportunities to review concepts and practice problem solving. The CD-ROM contains chapter-and section-specific tutorials, multiple-choice questions with feedback, and algorithmically generated questions. It required virtually no computer training on the part of students and supports IBM and Macintosh computers. In addition, a number of other technology and Web-based ancillaries are under development; they will support the ever-changing technology needs in developmental mathematics."
