Linear Algebra and Projective Geometry by Reinhold Baer ISBN: 0486445658 Dover Publications Price: $18.95 click here to see this book Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this text establishes that projective geometry and linear algebra are essentially identical. The supporting evidence consists of theorems offering an algebraic demonstration of certain geometric concepts. These theorems lead to a reconstruction of the geometry that constituted the discussion's starting point. 1952 edition. Republication of the New York, 1952 edition.
