Foundations of Convex Geometry (Paperback, New)

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.
