Summary

What is modern geometry? For most of recorded history, Euclidean geometry has dominated geometric thinking. Today, however, while Euclidean geometry is still central to much engineering and applied science, other geometries also play a major role in mathematics and physics. This book surveys these geometries, including non-Euclidean metric geometries.
