This volume combines an introduction to central collineations with
an introduction to projective geometry, set in its historical
context and aiming to provide the reader with a general history
through the middle of the nineteenth century. Topics covered
include but are not limited to: The Projective Plane and Central
Collineations The Geometry of Euclid's Elements Conic Sections in
Early Modern Europe Applications of Conics in History With rare
exception, the only prior knowledge required is a background in
high school geometry. As a proof-based treatment, this monograph
will be of interest to those who enjoy logical thinking, and could
also be used in a geometry course that emphasizes projective
geometry.
