Projective Geometry
by Nigel Hitchin
2003
Number of pages: 74
Description:
Projective geometry started life over 500 years ago in the study of perspective drawing: the distance between two points on the artist’s canvas does not represent the true distance between the objects they represent so that Euclidean distance is not the right concept.
