Consists of papers by Eugenio Beltrami, Felix Klein and Jules Henri Poincaré, with introductions by Stillwell |
| Summary |
Annotation This book presents, for the first time in English, the papers of Beltrami, Klein, and Poincar 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. The unified setting and historical context reveal the insights of Beltrami, Klein, and Poincar in their full brilliance |
