The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field
that the concept of mathematical proof-deductive reasoning from a set of
axioms-first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research
in mathematics.
This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under
geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries,
and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and
geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej
Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic
solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles.
Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of
science and art.
