Celebrating a century of geometry and geometry teaching, this volume includes popular articles on Pythagoras, the golden ratio and recreational geometry. Thirty "Desert Island Theorems" from distinguished mathematicians and educators disclose surprising results. (Contributors include a Nobel Laureate and a Pulitzer Prize winner.) Co-published with The Mathematical Association of America.

The aim of this monograph is to introduce the reader to some modern methods of projective geometry involving certain techniques of formal geometry. Some of these methods are illustrated in the first part through the proofs of a number of results of a rather classical flavor. Motivated by the first part, in the second formal functions on the formal completion X/Y of X along a closed subvariety Y is studied, especially the extension problem of formal functions to rational functions. The formal methods are then applied back to projective geometry, e.g., to homogeneous spaces.

By virtue of their special algebraic structures, Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves offer unique advantages for computer-aided design and manufacturing, robotics, motion control, path planning, computer graphics, animation, and related fields. This book offers a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the mathematical theory of PH curves, including algorithms for their construction and examples of their practical applications. Special features include an emphasis on the interplay of ideas from algebra and geometry and their historical origins, detailed algorithm descriptions, and many fig

Both classical geometry and modern differential geometry have been active subjects of research throughout the 20th century and lie at the heart of many recent advances in mathematics and physics. The underlying motivating concept for the present book is that it offers readers the elements of a modern geometric culture by means of a whole series of visually appealing unsolved (or recently solved) problems that require the creation of concepts and tools of varying abstraction. Starting with such natural, classical objects as lines, planes, circles, spheres, polygons, polyhedra, curves, surfaces,
