Book Description:
|
One century after Hilbert constructed the first example of a non-classical affine plane, this book aims to summarize all the major results about geometries on surfaces. Acting both as a reference and a monograph, the authors have include detailed secions on what is known as well as outlining problems that remain to be solved. The authors add interest by giving connections to a host of other areas of maths. This book will appeal to students, researchers and lecturers working in geometry...
