| Abstract | Wilson (mathematics, U. of Cambridge, UK) presents a textbook on the classical two-dimensional geometries: Euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic. They all have well-behaved distance functions which giv... rise to the curvature of the space and these curved spaces provide the link to understanding such geometrical ideas as geodesics, curvature, topology, embedded surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, and abstract surfaces with Riemannian metrics. The text is intended to serve as a link between basic undergraduate geometry and more theoretical geometry such as Riemann surfaces, differential manifolds, algebraic topology, and Riemannian geometry.
