This book offers a unique opportunity to understand the essence of
one of the great thinkers of western civilization. A guided reading
of Euclid's Elements leads to a critical discussion and rigorous
modern treatment of Euclid's geometry and its more recent
descendants, with complete proofs. Topics include the introduction
of coordinates, the theory of area, geometrical constructions and
finite field extensions, history of the parallel postulate, the
various non-Euclidean geometries, and the regular and semi-regular
polyhedra. The text is intended for junior- to senior-level
mathematics majors. Robin Hartshorne is a professor of mathematics
at the University of California at Berkeley, and is the author of
Foundations of Projective Geometry (Benjamin, 1967) and Algebraic
Geometry (Springer, 1977).
