商品描述

This book introduces the major ideas of projective geometry through clear explanations, visual intuition, and hands-on problem solving. Projective geometry opens a window into the deeper patterns of space, perspective, and form. While Euclidean geometry guides familiar constructions-drawing points, lines, and circles with a straightedge and compass-projective geometry goes further, encompassing hyperbolic and elliptic geometries and revealing the rules behind the way we see the world. Why do railway tracks appear to converge in the distance? Why does a tilted coin look like an ellipse? These are not illusions-they are manifestations of projective geometry at work.

Readers will explore classical constructions and fundamental geometrical ideas through a fresh lens, building towards an exploration of key projective principles such as duality and invariance. Highlighting real-world applications in mathematics, physics, computer science, art and architecture, the book presents projective geometry not just as a mathematical discipline, but as a way of seeing. Whether you are a student, teacher, or curious mind, this book offers a new perspective on geometry-not just what we measure, but how we perceive and understand the world around us.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書透過清晰的解釋、視覺直覺和實作問題解決,介紹了射影幾何的主要概念。射影幾何為我們打開了一扇通往空間、透視和形狀更深層次模式的窗戶。雖然歐幾里得幾何指導著熟悉的構造——用直尺和圓規畫出點、線和圓,射影幾何則更進一步,涵蓋了雙曲和橢圓幾何,揭示了我們看待世界的規則。為什麼鐵路軌道在遠處看起來似乎會匯聚?為什麼傾斜的硬幣看起來像橢圓?這些並不是錯覺——它們是射影幾何運作的具現。

讀者將透過全新的視角探索經典構造和基本幾何概念,逐步深入關鍵的射影原則,如對偶性和不變性。這本書強調數學、物理、計算機科學、藝術和建築等領域的實際應用,將射影幾何呈現為一種看待事物的方式,而不僅僅是一門數學學科。無論你是學生、教師,還是好奇的心靈,這本書都提供了對幾何的新視角——不僅是我們所測量的,還有我們如何感知和理解周圍的世界。
