Publisher Description:

The elements of abstract algebra have almost everywhere found a place in the undergraduate courses of universities, but this has happened to some extent at the expense of courses on geometry. Therefore a book which applies some notions of algebra to geometry, showing in a deliberately restricted domain their interrelation with geometrical ideas, is a useful counterbalance in the present trend to generalization and abstraction.

This book should be of great value to students of mathematics in their second or third year at the university and be used by them concurrently with an introductory course on functions of a complex variable. It should give them a basis for the geometrical aspects of this theory and simultaneously help them to extend their understanding of the connections between some classical branches of geometry. It will also be useful to anyone, from pure mathematician to electrical engineer, who wishes to deepen his knowledge of the complex number system.


Contributor Bio(s): Schwerdtfeger, Hans: - HANS SCHWERDTFEGER studied Mathematics in Germany in the Universities of Leipzig, Göttingen, and Bonn where he obtained his Dr. phil. Degree (Ph. D.) in 1934. He has held the position of lecturer in Mathematics in the University of Adelaide, Australia (1940-47) and Senior Lecturer in the University of Melbourne (1948-1957). He was Visiting Professor of Mathematics in Queen's University, Kingston, Ont. (1954-55). He was appointed an Associate Professor of Mathematics at McGill University, Montreal in 1958 and became a full Professor in 1960.
