Dieses Buch nimmt Sie mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise durch die Welt der klassischen Geometrie: Beginnend beim Satz von Thales und den Apolloniuskreisen führt die Reise über Steiner'sche Kreisketten bis in die Welt der Kegelschnitte. Dabei werden verborgene Zusammenhänge aufgedeckt und Perlen der Elementargeometrie präsentiert. Hierbei werden Sie durch harmonische Verhältnisse geleitet, welche eine zentrale Rolle spielen und sich wie ein roter Faden durch das ganze Buch ziehen. Einerseits ist dieses Buch für alle Liebhaberinnen und Liebhaber der Geometrie geschrieben, andererseits ist es durch die leicht zugängliche Theorie und die kurzen Beweise besonders auch für Schülerinnen und Schüler der Sekundarstufe sowie Lehramtsstudierende geeignet. Die Autoren Lorenz Halbeisen, Departement Mathematik, ETH Zürich, Schweiz Norbert Hungerbühler, Departement Mathematik, ETH Zürich, Schweiz Juan Läuchli, Fachschaft Mathematik, Kantonsschule Frauenfeld, Schweiz.

"This volume contains contributions by the main participants of the 4th International Colloquium on Differential Geometry and its Related Fields (ICDG2014). These articles cover recent developments and are devoted mainly to the study of some geometric structures on manifolds and graphs. Readers will find a broad overview of differential geometry and its relationship to other fields in mathematics and physics."--

This book can form the basis of a second course in algebraic geometry. As motivation, it takes concrete questions from enumerative geometry and intersection theory, and provides intuition and technique, so that the student develops the ability to solve geometric problems. The authors explain key ideas, including rational equivalence, Chow rings, Schubert calculus and Chern classes, and readers will appreciate the abundant examples, many provided as exercises with solutions available online. Intersection is concerned with the enumeration of solutions of systems of polynomial equations in several variables. It has been an active area of mathematics since the work of Leibniz. Chasles' nineteenth-century calculation that there are 3264 smooth conic plane curves tangent to five given general conics was an important landmark, and was the inspiration behind the title of this book. Such computations were motivation for Poincaré's development of topology, and for many subsequent theories, so that intersection theory is now a central topic of modern mathematics.

This is a textbook on differential geometry well-suited to a variety of courses on this topic. For readers seeking an elementary text, the prerequisites are minimal and include plenty of examples and intermediate steps within proofs, while providing an invitation to more excursive applications and advanced topics. For readers bound for graduate school in math or physics, this is a clear, concise, rigorous development of the topic including the deep global theorems. For the benefit of all readers, the author employs various techniques to render the difficult abstract ideas herein more understandable and engaging. Over 300 color illustrations bring the mathematics to life, instantly clarifying concepts in ways that grayscale could not. Green-boxed definitions and purple-boxed theorems help to visually organize the mathematical content. Color is even used within the text to highlight logical relationships. Applications abound! The study of conformal and equiareal functions is grounded in its application to cartography. Evolutes, involutes and cycloids are introduced through Christiaan Huygens' fascinating story: in attempting to solve the famous longitude problem with a mathematically-improved pendulum clock, he invented mathematics that would later be applied to optics and gears. Clairaut’s Theorem is presented as a conservation law for angular momentum. Green’s Theorem makes possible a drafting tool called a planimeter. Foucault’s Pendulum helps one visualize a parallel vector field along a latitude of the earth. Even better, a south-pointing chariot helps one visualize a parallel vector field along any curve in any surface. In truth, the most profound application of differential geometry is to modern physics, which is beyond the scope of this book. The GPS in any car wouldn’t work without general relativity, formalized through the language of differential geometry. Throughout this book, applications, metaphors and visualizations are tools that motivate and clarify the rigorous mathematical content, but never replace it. .
