Modern Pure Solid Geometry Nathan Altshiller-Court 2nd Ed Mathematics RARE

Description: For sale is the book Modern Pure Solid Geometry by Nathan Altshiller-Court published by Chelsea Publishing in 1964, the second edition."The nine chapters deal respectively with preliminary ideas, trihedral angles, skew quadrilaterals, tetrahedra, transversals, oblique cones, spheres, inversion, and recent geometry of the tetrahedron. The treatment is synthetic; but excluding anharmonic ratios, involution, conies, and even the complete quadrilateral. On the other hand, the author uses the concept of the imaginary sphere. The book may be criticized for its limited scope, but it is a useful collection of theorems on elementary topics. In particular, the chapters on tetrahedra bring together information not readily accessible elsewhere."Nathan Court was born in Warsaw, Poland, and received the D.Sc. degree in 1911 from the University of Ghent, in Belgium. He became an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oklahoma in 1917. In 1919, he became a U.S. citizen and changed his last name to Court, keeping Altshiller as a middle name. He became a full Professor at the University of Oklahoma in 1935 and retired in 1951.
