Excerpt from Projective Vector Algebra: An Algebra of Vectors Independent of the Axioms of Congruence and of Parallels
I. The reader will find in the widely known memoir of Hilbert on the Foundations of Geometry* various 'algebras of segments,' independent of one or of another group of axioms, the purpose of these algebras being, in Hilbert's case, to show the mutual independence of his set of axioms. More recently, in an excellent book, Schur has taken up von Staudt's calculus of projective segments (Wurfrechnung) in order to develop it analytically and to build upon it a complete system of metrical, euclidean and non-euclidean, geometry. This is admirably done in 4 and 5 of his work. Schur bases his definitions of equality, of addition and multiplication of projective segments, upon the correspondence known as 'prospectivity,' and, at first, avails himself only of the axioms of connection and of order [Schur's postulates I. to 8.]; for the further development of the subject, however, he has recourse [5] to the axioms of congruence or of 'motion,' postulates 9. to 13., and completes his investigation by adding an independent, 14th postulate concerning the use of compasses. The result is a most charming and lucid structure of the complete system of non-euclidean geometry (of an isotropic three-dimensional space of any constant curvature), the last touch to this true masterpiece being given in Schur's closing section by adding the archimedean postulate.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamentals of projective vector algebra, focusing on the concepts of equality, addition, and subtraction of vectors. The author presents a simplified and elegant approach, accessible to beginners in geometry and physicists. Projective vector algebra builds upon the axioms of connection and order, establishing a system of metrical, Euclidean, and non-Euclidean geometry. The author's clear explanations and illustrative examples help readers grasp the subject's underlying principles. This book not only provides a solid foundation in projective vector algebra but also demonstrates its applicability in solving problems in various fields, highlighting its significance as a powerful tool for understanding and manipulating geometric concepts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
