Symmetry and Pattern in Projective Geometry - Tapa blanda

From the reviews:

“Here, readers meet a slice of geometry, intermediate between elementary Euclidean and modern algebraic, where first come the objects, extraordinary, surprising, and intriguing. By meeting and literally seeing these special objects, specifically linear configurations and various projective varieties of low dimension and low degree, undergraduates can--perhaps for the first time--really experience mathematics as a phenomenological science. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 51 (2), October, 2013)

“The book under review presents an introduction to projective geometry as well as some preliminary results on algebraic geometry and finite geometries. ... This is a well-illustrated, self-contained textbook on projective geometry. Both the basics and the significant facts are presented in an original manner. The book is intended for undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science.” (Georgi Hristov Georgiev, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2013)

This inclusive study of projective geometry covers analytic and synthetic methods, takes in linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic figures in various dimensions, and deals at length with refinements of basic theories, including those of Pappus and Desargues.
