William P. Thurston

Three-Dimensional Geometry and Topology, Volume 1

(PMS-35)
Herausgeber: Levy, Silvio

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hyperbolic geometry is the star. A strong effort has been made to convey not just denatured formal reasoning, but a living feeling for the subject. There are many figures, examples, and exercises of varying difficulty. This book develops some of the power of geometry in two and three dimensions, and the strong connection of geometry with topology.
