This volume discusses the classical subjects of Euclidean, affine
and projective geometry in two and three dimensions, including the
classification of conics and quadrics, and geometric
transformations. These subjects are important both for the
mathematical grounding of the student and for applications to
various other subjects. They may be studied in the first year or as
a second course in geometry. The material is presented in a
geometric way, and it aims to develop the geometric intuition and
thinking of the student, as well as his ability to understand and
give mathematical proofs. Linear algebra is not a prerequisite, and
is kept to a bare minimum. The book includes a few methodological
novelties, and a large number of exercises and problems with
solutions. It also has an appendix about the use of the computer
programme MAPLEV in solving problems of analytical and projective
geometry, with examples.
