Best geometry books

A treatise on the geometry of the circle and some extensions to conic sections by the method of reciprocation, with numerous examples.

Leopold is extremely joyful to put up this vintage publication as a part of our broad vintage Library assortment. some of the books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and for that reason haven't been obtainable to most people. the purpose of our publishing software is to facilitate speedy entry to this significant reservoir of literature, and our view is this is an important literary paintings, which merits to be introduced again into print after many a long time.

A tour of subriemannian geometries, their geodesics and applications

Subriemannian geometries, often referred to as Carnot-Caratheodory geometries, may be seen as limits of Riemannian geometries. in addition they come up in actual phenomenon regarding ""geometric phases"" or holonomy. Very approximately talking, a subriemannian geometry involves a manifold endowed with a distribution (meaning a $k$-plane box, or subbundle of the tangent bundle), known as horizontal including an internal product on that distribution.
