- catalog abstract "The chief purpose of this book is to revisit those regions of elementary geometry that were enjoyed by our ancestors, making use of the idea of transformations: an idea that facilitates geometric understanding and links the subject with other branches of mathematics. In particular, Chapter 5 introduces the reader to inversive geometry, which has an important application to analysis, and Chapter 6 introduces conics with special emphasis on the notions of focus and eccentricity, notions obviously relevant to the study of orbits of comets, planets, and satellites. The early chapters take the reader by easy stages from very simple ideas to the core of the subject. The problems throughout the book contain extensions of the text as well as challenges to the reader.".
