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.
