This book on the foundations of Euclidean geometry aims to present the subject from the point of view of present day mathematics, taking advantage of all the devlopments since the appearance of Hilberts classic work. The treatment is self-contained and thorough, many results being established under weaker hypotheses than usual.The book can serve as an introduction to other areas of mathematics such as matroids and antimatroids, combinatorial convexity, the theory of polytopes,...
