Review
'Altogether a very interesting booklet which can be recommended already for final year undergraduates.' G. Kowol, Wien, Book Reviews
' ... valuable complement to the large amount of existing literature on 'classical' convexity.' European Mathematical Society
Book Description
This book presents the foundations of Euclidean geometry from the point of view of mathematics, taking advantage of all the developments since the appearance of Hilbert's classic work. Here, real affine space is characterized by a small number of axioms involving points and line segments making the treatment self-contained and thorough. This treatment is accessible for final year undergraduates and graduate students, and can also serve as an introduction to other areas of mathematics such as matroids and antimatroids, combinatorial convexity, the theory of polytopes, projective geometry and functional analysis.
