Projective and Cayley-Klein Geometries

This book offers an introduction into projective geometry. The first part presents n-dimensional projective geometry over an arbitrary skew field; the real, the complex, and the quaternionic geometries are the central topics, finite geometries playing only a minor part. The second deals with classical linear and projective groups and the associated geometries. The final section summarizes selected results and problems from the geometry of transformation groups.

From the reviews: "This book is a comprehensive account of projective geometry and other classical geometries … exhaustively covering all the details that anyone could ever ask for. It is well-written and the many exercises and many figures … make it a very usable text. … My proposed audience for this book coincides with the publisher’s advice: graduate students and researchers in mathematics will find this book most useful … . For these readers, the book is a jewel long yearned for, and finally found." (Gizem Karaali, MathDL, November, 2007)
