This text on geometry is devoted to various central geometrical topics
including: graphs of functions, transformations, (non-)Euclidean
geometries, curves and surfaces as well as their applications in a
variety of disciplines. This book presents elementary methods for
analytical modeling and demonstrates the potential for symbolic
computational tools to support the development of analytical solutions.
The author systematically examines several powerful tools of MATLAB(R)
including 2D and 3D animation of geometric images with shadows and
colors and transformations using matrices. With over 150 stimulating
exercises and problems, this text integrates traditional differential
and non-Euclidean geometries with more current computer systems in a
practical and user-friendly format. This text is an excellent classroom
resource or self-study reference for undergraduate students in a variety
of disciplines.
