5.0 out of 5 stars Coxeter's Geometry. Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2009. Verified Purchase. H.S.M. Coxeter is a legend in Geometry, primarily for his work on higher dimensional objects...polytopes, and the Physics applicable, study of Symmetry. The book covers the gamut of Geometry, touching on the peaks and covering the entire range.
This is a wonderful book if you want to gain a real understanding of what geometry can be (if you like this book you should buy the biography of Coxeter: "King of Infinite Space: Donald Coxeter, the Man Who Saved Geometry" - it is one of the best biographies of a mathematician on the market and shows that Coxeter was a genius and a hoot).
Coxeter studied at Trinity College, Cambridge (Ph.D., 1931).In 1936 he joined the faculty of mathematics at the University of Toronto, where he remained until he retired in 1980.Coxeter wrote the entry on analytic geometry for the 1961 printing of the 14th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.In addition, he wrote some 200 papers and a dozen books, including Non-Euclidean Geometry (1942 ...
This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition. The Second Edition retains all the characterisitcs that made the first edition so popular: brilliant exposition, the flexibility permitted by relatively self-contained chapters, and broad coverage ranging from topics in the Euclidean plane, to affine geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, and topology.

Undoubtedly the world's best known geometer, Professor Coxeter has made contributions of fundamental importance to the Theory of Polytopes, Non-Euclidean geometry, Discrete Groups, and Combinatorial Theory, to name the areas of mathematical research for which he is best known. Endowed with artistic gifts himself, particularly in music, he gives ...

Coxeter's textbooks in a number of areas of geometry are modern classics. Coxeter also wrote eloquently on topics in recreational mathematics, revising Ball's classic treatise Mathematical Recreations and Essays. This book is a treasure trove of information on both mathematics and recreational mathematics and is required reading for any ...

One of Coxeter’s major contributions to geometry was in the area of dimensional analogy, the process of stretching geometrical shapes into higher dimensions. He is also famous for “Coxeter groups,” the inversive distance between two disjoint circles (or spheres). 1. Line: A line is a one-dimensional shape. You can only move along a line ...
H.S.M. Coxeter, 1907-2003 By George W. Hart The twentieth century's preeminent classical geometer and mathematician of polyhedra, Prof. H.S.M. Coxeter researched and wrote at length on polyhedra and polytopes (higher-dimensional generalizations of polyhedra).

H. S. M. COXETER INVERSIVE GEOMETRY 1. INTRODUCTION Euclidean geometry deals mainly with points and straight lines. Its basic transformation is the reflection, which leaves fixed all the points on one line and interchanges certain pairs of points on opposite sides of this "mirror". All other isometries (or "congruent transformations" or ...
Even at times when the fashion in mathematics seemed to move in another direction, Coxeter was pursuing aesthetically appealing geometric problems. In the introduction to Geometry Revisited (1967), he and his co-author, S.L. Greitzer, write: Let us revisit Euclid. Let us discover for ourselves a few of the newer results.
