Non-Euclidean Geometry
by Henry Manning
Publisher: Ginn and Company 1901
ISBN/ASIN: 1112224785
Number of pages: 93
Description:
This book is an attempt to give a simple and direct account of the Non-Euclidean Geometry, and one which presupposes but little knowledge of Mathematics. The first three chapters assume a knowledge of only Plane and Solid Geometry and Trigonometry, and the entire book can be read by one who has taken the mathematical courses commonly given in our colleges.
