Review text

The book is now available in its second edition [see the first ed. in (1996; Zbl 0868.51001)]. It covers the following topics: Analytic geometry in the Euclidean plane and space, elementary curves and surfaces, parallel and central projections (new in this edition), transformations of coordinates and displacements with kinematic applications, principles of the projective geometry, space curves and some of their differential geometric properties, computer aided geometric design of curves and surfaces. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEMany interesting examples (with solutions) and instructive figures help to understand the overall geometric and mathematic structure of this properly elaborated textbook. The book provides a good blueprint for a basic course in geometry for students in engineering, informatics or mathematics.
