Written for students at Soviet pedagogical institutes preparing to teach mathematics, the book moves systematically from the axiomatic foundations of Euclidean and Lobachevskian geometry, including a careful treatment of the fifth-postulate problem and the axioms of connection, order, and congruence, through affine and projective transformations to elements of differential geometry and the topology needed to support them, concluding with the consistency and completeness of the axiom system for planar Euclidean geometry. The publisher's own annotation praises the concise and precise exposition and ample illustrations as making the volume useful for both full-time and correspondence-course students of pedagogical institutes. Unlike Nikolai Yefimov's better-known \"Vysshaya geometriya,\" the standard university-level text of the same title that went through seven editions, Bakelman's pedagogical-institute version appears, on the evidence of current library catalogues, to have been published only this once, giving it a narrower survival and circulation than its more famous namesake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44664078794794,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_1379_d2cccb77-6247-4a7e-b384-b82a1ac434f1.jpg?v=1786100106","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/bakelman-ilya-higher-geometry-vysshaya-geometriya-first-edition-1967-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
