Book Description:
|
This book presents, for the first time in English, the papers of Beltrami, Klein, and Poincaré that brought hyperbolic geometry into the mainstream of mathematics. By placing the works of these three mathematicians side by side and providing commentaries, this book gives the student, historian or professional geometer a bird's-eye view of one of the great episodes in mathematics.
