Principles of Geometry

This second volume of the 6 volume series Principles of Geometry describes the principal configurations of space of two dimensions. The work as a whole provides a detailed insight into the geometry which was developing at the time of publication.

First published between 1922 and 1925, the six-volume Principles of Geometry was a synthesis of Baker's lecture series on geometry and was the first British work on geometry to use axiomatic methods without the use of co-ordinates.

The first four volumes of the 6 volume series describe the projective geometry of space of between two and five dimensions, with the last two volumes reflecting Baker's later research interests in the birational theory of surfaces.
