商品描述
This textbook focuses on the geometry of circles, spheres, and spherical geometry. Various classic themes are used as introductory and motivating topics.
The book begins very simply for the reader in the first chapter discussing the notions of inversion and stereographic projection. Here, various classical topics and theorems such as Steiner cycles, inversion, Soddy's hexlet, stereographic projection and Poncelet's porism are discussed. The book then delves into Bend formulas and the relation of radii of circles, focusing on Steiner circles, mutually tangent four circles in the plane and other related notions. Next, some fundamental concepts of graph theory are explained. The book then proceeds to explore orthogonal-cycle representation of quadrangulations, giving detailed discussions of the Brightwell-Scheinerman theorem (an extension of the Koebe-Andreev-Thurston theorem), Newton's 13-balls-problem, Casey's theorem (an extension of Ptolemy's theorem) and its generalizations. The remainder of the book is devoted to spherical geometry including a chapter focusing on geometric probability on the sphere.
The book also contains new results of the authors and insightful notes on the existing literature, bringing the reader closer to the research front. Each chapter concludes with related exercises of varying levels of difficulty. Solutions to selected exercises are provided.
This book is suitable to be used as textbook for a geometry course or alternatively as basis for a seminar for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students alike.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本教科書專注於圓、球體和球面幾何學。各種經典主題被用作入門和激勵性的話題。
該書在第一章非常簡單地討論了反演和立體投影的概念，為讀者提供了很好的起點。在這裡，討論了各種經典主題和定理，如斯坦納環、反演、索迪六角形、立體投影和庞斯莱定理。然後，書中深入探討了本德公式和圓的半徑關係，重點關注斯坦納圓、平面上互相相切的四個圓和其他相關概念。接下來，解釋了一些圖論的基本概念。然後，書中繼續探討四邊形的正交循環表示，詳細討論了布萊特威爾-謝因曼定理（是科比-安德烈夫-瑟斯頓定理的擴展）、牛頓的13球問題、凱西定理（是托勒密定理的擴展）及其推廣。書的其餘部分專注於球面幾何學，包括一章專注於球面上的幾何概率。
該書還包含作者的新成果和對現有文獻的深入註解，使讀者更接近研究前沿。每章結尾都有相關的練習題，難度各不相同。提供了部分練習題的解答。
本書適合作為幾何學課程的教科書，也可以作為高年級本科生和研究生研討會的基礎。
