Worlds Out of Nothing : A Course in the History of Geometry in the 19th Century (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series) (2ND)

Based on the latest historical research, Worlds Out of Nothing is the first book to provide a course on the history of geometry in the 19th century. The final part of the book considers how projective geometry rose to prominence, and looks at Poincaré's ideas about non-Euclidean geometry and their physical and philosophical significance.
