Transformations of Surfaces
by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart
Publisher: Princeton University Press 1923
Number of pages: 371
Description:
Most, if not all, of the transformations which have been developed in recent years are reducible to transformations F or to transformations of the type such that a surface and a transform are focal surfaces of a W congruence. It is the purpose of this book to develop these two types of transformations and thereby to coordinate the results of many investigations.

The author is concerned with the geometry of incidence of points and lines, over an arbitrary field, and unencumbered by metrics or continuity (or even betweenness). The treatment of these themes blends the descriptive with the axiomatic.
