This work on the foundations of Euclidean geometry aims to present
the subject from the point of view of mathematics at the end of the
20th century, taking advantage of all the developments since the
appearance of Hilbert's classic work. Here real affine space is
characterized by a small number of axioms involving points and line
segments making the treatment self-contained and thorough, many
results being established under weaker hypotheses than usual. The
treatment should be accessible for final year undergraduates and
graduate students, and can also serve as an introduction to other
areas of mathematics such as matroids and antimatroids,
combinatorial convexity, the theory of polytopes, projective
geometry and functional analysis.
