Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Its Nature, Validity and P
This book is about detailed study of Euclid’s fifth postulate, also known as the parallel postulate. The book explores how mathematicians have tried to understand, prove, or replace this postulate throughout history. It examines key figures like Sacc . . . READ MORE

Hyperbolic Geometry by James W. Cannon, W.J. Floyd, R.
These notes are intended as a relatively quick introduction to hyperbolic geometry. They review the wonderful history of non-Euclidean geometry. They give five different analytic models for and several combinatorial approximations to non-Euclidean ge . . . READ MORE

Neutral and Non-Euclidean Geometries by David C. Royste
This book explains different kinds of geometry. It talks about neutral geometry, which studies shapes without using the usual rule about parallel lines, and also non-Euclidean geometry, like hyperbolic and elliptic types. It introduced, or re-introdu . . . READ MORE

Non-Euclidean Geometry by Henry Manning
This is a classic book that introduces readers to new types of geometry where the usual Euclidean rules don’t always apply. It begins with the theorems common to Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, and then it addresses the specific differences tha . . . READ MORE

Non-Euclidean Geometry: A Critical and Historical Study
This is an important book that explains how geometry changed after people questioned Euclid’s parallel postulate. It tells the history of many mathematicians who worked on new kinds of geometry, like Lobachevsky and Gauss. It talks about many mathema . . . READ MORE

The Elements of Non-Euclidean Geometry by D.M.Y. Sommer
This is a well-known book that introduces readers to the fascinating world of non-Euclidean geometry which is now a well-recognised branch of mathematics. It is the general type of geometry of homogeneous and continuous space, of which euclidean geom . . . READ MORE

The Elements Of Non-Euclidean Geometry by Julian Lowell
This text attempt to prove the parallel axiom by means of the other usual assumptions is now seldom undertaken, and those who do undertake it, are considered in the class with circle-squarers and searchers for perpetual motion– sad by-products of th . . . READ MORE
