Introduction to Projective Geometry Reticella workThis lucid introductory text offers both an analytic and an axiomatic approach to plane projective geometry. The analytic treatment builds and expands upon students' familiarity with elementary plane analytic geometry and provides a well motivated approach to projective geometry. Subsequent chapters explore Euclidean and non Euclidean geometry as specializations of the projective plane, revealing the existence of an infinite number of geometries, each
