Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book is based on real inner product spaces X of arbitrary (finite or infinite) dimension greater than or equal to 2. Designed as a two term graduate course, the book helps students to understand great ideas of classical geometries in a modern and general context. A real benefit is the dimension-free approach to important geometrical theories. The only prerequisites are basic linear algebra and basic 2- and 3-dimensional real geometry.
