This is an undergraduate textbook that reveals the intricacies
of geometry. The approach used is that a geometry is a space
together with a set of transformations of that space (as argued by
Klein in his Erlangen programme). The authors explore various
geometries: affine, projective, inversive, non-Euclidean and
spherical. In each case the key results are explained carefully,
and the relationships between the geometries are discussed. This
richly illustrated and clearly written text includes full solutions
to over 200 problems, and is suitable both for undergraduate
courses on geometry and as a resource for self study.
