Introduction to Non-Euclidean Geometry

Harold E. Wolfe - Personal Name;

One of the first college-level texts for elementary courses in the subject, this book provides a concise, readable introduction to non-Euclidean geometry geared toward students with a background in calculus. It offers a detailed historical treatment of the centuries-long attempt to prove Euclid’s parallel postulate and covers key topics such as hyperbolic and elliptic plane geometry and trigonometry. The text is noted for its substantial lists of exercises and helpful appendixes on the foundations of Euclidean geometry and circular functions, making it a foundational resource for understanding the evolution of geometric space.
