New York: Dover Publications, Inc. Previous Owner Markings (Highlighting); Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Edges Lightly Soiled. ALSO KNOWN AS: This Dover edition, first published in 1961, is a new English translation of Einfachste Grundbegriffe der Topologie, as published by Julius Springer in 1932. WITH A PREFACE BY: David Hilbert. TRANSLATED BY: Alan E. Farley. CONTENTS: Introduction; I Polyhedra, Manifolds, Topological Spaces; II Algebraic Complexes; III Simplicial Mappings and Invariance Theorems; Index. SYNOPSIS: Alexandroff's beautiful and elegant introduction to topology was originally published in 1932 as an extension of certain aspects of Hilbert's Anschauliche Geometrie. The text has long been recognized as one of the finest presentations of the fundamental concepts, vital for mathematicians who haven't time for extensive study and for beginning investigators. The book is not a substitute for a systematic text, but an… Read More

Toronto: The Ryerson Press, 1960. Previous Owner Markings (Heavy Notes, Underlining, Marginalia); Repaired; Backstrip Missing; Corners Bumped; Heavy Shelf Rub to Boards; Edges Moderately Soiled; Heavy Yellowing Due to Age. COVER ILLUSTRATION: The dramatically startling design of a City Hall for Toronto was the winner of a world-wide contest. It owes its revolutionary beauty and slender grace to the inspired use in its design of the circle and arcs of circles. (Illustration by Panda Photographs.) CONTENTS: I. Points, Lengths and Slope II. Area of Rectilinear Figures III. Locus IV. The Straight Line V. Length of a Perpendicular VI. The Circle VII. The Parabola VIII. The Ellipse IX. The Hyperbola X. Tangents XI. Diameters XII. Transformation of Coordinates XIII. Appendix; Answers. EXCERPT: AUTHORS' FOREWORD - A Modern Analytic Geometry is the outgrowth of discussions held by the authors while engaged in marking Grade 13 Geometry departmental examinations.
