He was responsible for important work in projective geometry , where he showed the richness of the concept of cross-ratio as well as harmonic analysis. “Chasles wrote two textbooks for his course at the Sorbonne. The first of these, the "Traité de géométrie supérieure", is based on the elementary theories of the cross ratio, homographic ranges and pencils, and involution, all of which were originally defined and discussed in the 'Aperçu historique'; ... it was Chasles who developed the theory and showed its scope and power. This book, Chasles felt, showed that the use of sensed magnitudes and imaginary elements gives to geometry the freedom and power of analysis.': Smith I, p. 498: '... his treatise on higher geometry ... gave him a world-wide reputation.'.” --- Wikipedia CONDITION: Very Good-.

Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, APO and other off-shore addresses take longer to arrive. During the pre-Christmas season, Media Mail is subject to delays.

INTERNATIONAL For international shipping, we urge bidders to request quotes of shipping costs before bidding. We will also specify international shipping options and prices after the conclusion of the auction.
