Excerpt from The Theory of the Imaginary in Geometry: Together With the Trigonometry of the Imaginary
The position of any real point in space may be determined by means of three real coordinates, and any three real quantities may be regarded as determining the position of such a point In Geometry as in other branches of Pure Mathematics the question naturally arises, whether the quantities concerned need necessarily be real. Such a Geometry contains as a particular case the Geometry of real points. The relationship of the more generalised conception of Geometry and of space to the particular case of real Geometry is of importance, as points, whose determining elements are complex quantities, arise both in coordinate and in projective Geometry.
In this book an attempt has been made to work out and determine this relationship. Either of two methods might have been adopted. It would have been possible to lay down certain axioms and premises and to have developed a general theory therefrom. This has been done by other authors. The alternative method, which has been employed here, is to add to the axioms of real Geometry certain additional assumptions. From these, by means of the methods and principles of real Geometry, an extension of the existing ideas and conception of Geometry can be obtained. In this way the reader is able to approach the simpler and more concrete theorems in the first instance, and step by step the well-known theorems are extended and generalised. A conception of the imaginary is thus gradually built up and the relationship between the imaginary and the real is exemplified and developed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating concept of imaginary geometry, venturing beyond the familiar realm of real points and lines to explore the ethereal world of complex quantities. The author, a renowned expert in the field, meticulously lays the groundwork, guiding readers through the construction of imaginary points, their representation on a real straight line, and their measurement with imaginary lengths. The book then delves into the intricate relationships between imaginary and real points, revealing their intriguing properties. The author demonstrates how the connectors of a pair of conjugate imaginary points are real, how imaginary lines meet real lines, and how imaginary triangles can be categorized into distinct types. With its clear and accessible approach, this book unveils the hidden depths of geometry, inviting readers to expand their understanding of space and shape. It not only presents a cohesive theory of imaginary geometry but also underscores its profound implications for a deeper comprehension of the mathematical landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330051078_0
