John Leigh Smeathman Hatton (1865-1933) was a British mathematician
and educator. He worked for 40 years at a pioneering educational
project in East London that began as the People's Palace and
eventually became Queen Mary College in the University of London.
Hatton served as its Principal from 1908 to 1933. This book,
published in 1920, explores the relationship between imaginary and
real non-Euclidean geometry through graphical representations of
imaginaries under a variety of conventions. This relationship is of
importance as points with complex determining elements are present
in both imaginary and real geometry. Hatton uses concepts including
the use of co-ordinate methods to develop and illustrate this
relationship, and concentrates on the idea that the only
differences between real and imaginary points exist solely in
relation to other points. This clearly written volume exemplifies
the type of non-Euclidean geometry research current at the time of
publication.
