⭐This is new approach in relation of numbersand geometry. It’s basic concept to “Algebra &Geometry”

⭐Fast shipping. Great book!

⭐This is a book on elementary mathematics that treats its readers as curious human beings rather than intellectually spineless fools that must be drilled. There are excellent explanations of a lot of mathematics–some common, some unusual–and there are exercises that are actually interesting. Even more important, I believe, is that it opens so many doors for further reading, not least in areas that many undergraduates never get to see: classical geometry, classical number theory, foundations, non-Euclidean geometry, elliptic curves, algebraic number theory, projective geometry, etc. Also unique is the way in which every topic comes with truly meaningful and interesting applications: complex numbers lead to Gaussian integers and Fermat’s two squares theorem, conic sections lead to projective geometry, trigonometry leads to Dehn’s solution of Hilbert’s third problem, etc.
