They give a first glimpse into the world of algebraic geometry yet they are equally relevant to a wide range of disciplines such as engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text discusses and classifies affinities and Euclidean motions culminating in classification results for quadrics. A high level of detail and generality is a key feature unmatched by other books available. Such intricacy makes this a particularly accessible teaching resource as it requires no extra time in deconstructing the author's reasoning. The provision of a large number of exercises with hints will help students to develop their problem solving skills and will also be a useful resource for lecturers when setting work for independent study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAffinities, Euclidean Motions and Quadrics takes rudimentary, and often taken-for-granted, knowledge and presents it in a new, comprehensive form. Standard and non-standard examples are demonstrated throughout and an appendix provides the reader with a summary of advanced linear algebra facts for quick reference to the text. All factors combined, this is a self-contained book ideal for self-study that is not only foundational but unique in its approach.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text will be of use to lecturers in linear algebra and its applications to geometry as well as advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274201653399,"sku":"9780857297099","price":2571.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780857297099.webp?v=1769279203","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/affine-maps-euclidean-motions-and-quadrics-9780857297099","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
