Details:
This book delves into the methods of projective geometry of the plane, assuming prior knowledge of basic metrical and analytical geometry. It begins with a rigorous first chapter to prepare readers for the more advanced material that follows. The text introduces symbolic notation and advances to exploring the theory of one-to-one correspondence. It derives the projective properties of the conic sections and examines their representation through the general equation of the second degree. The study also covers the relationship between Euclidean and projective geometry, offering a thorough exploration of these foundational topics.

Numerous illustrative examples throughout the text help readers gain a deeper understanding of the concepts. This book is ideal for students and professionals interested in geometry, particularly those looking to understand the theoretical aspects of projective geometry
