A well-known textbook providing a comprehensive introduction to plant systematics, including classification systems, nomenclature, and evolutionary relationships among plants.
A comprehensive textbook covering plant anatomical structures, widely used for students in botany and plant sciences.
This book provides a clear introduction to the taxonomy of angiosperms, including classification systems, nomenclature, and identification methods. It is suitable for students of botany and biological sciences.
A classic botanical reference work describing native wildflowers of California, featuring detailed text and high-quality color plates for plant identification.
This classic textbook provides an elementary account of the geometry of curves and surfaces, specifically designed for students with a background in standard calculus and linear algebra. It is renowned for introducing the method of moving frames (frame fields) to study curves in space—an efficient technique that O'Neill extends to the study of surfaces. The text meticulously defines what a su…
This foundational text, published posthumously and based on lecture notes from 1935–1937, marks the birth of the field of continuous geometry. John von Neumann introduces a "point-free" generalization of projective geometry where the lattice of subspaces allows for a continuous range of dimensions, rather than just discrete integers. The book develops the axioms of continuous geometry, explor…
This textbook offers an introductory yet rigorous approach to linear algebra by grounding abstract concepts in geometric intuition. The text progresses from finite-dimensional vector spaces and directed line segments to more complex topics like linear transformations, matrices, and inner product spaces. By focusing on the "viewpoint of geometry," Moore helps students visualize algebraic operati…
This classic textbook provides a rigorous and systematic treatment of Euclidean geometry intended for readers who have a background in basic mathematics but seek a deeper, proof-oriented understanding. Unlike introductory texts that rely on visual intuition, Moise constructs geometry from a modern axiomatic foundation—specifically focusing on betweenness, congruence, and continuity. The "adva…
This volume is part of a two-volume English translation of the Russian work Geometric Transformations, focusing specifically on collinearity-preserving transformations within the projective plane. It introduces the construction of the projective plane and details essential concepts such as projective mappings, fundamental theorems, cross ratios, and harmonic sets. The text also covers inversion…
