內容簡介
《麯麵幾何學》揭示瞭幾何和拓撲之間的相互關係,為廣大讀者介紹瞭現代幾何的基本概況。書的開始介紹瞭三種簡單的麵,歐幾裏得麵、球麵和雙麯平麵。運用等距同構群的有效機理,並且將這些原理延伸到常麯率的所有可以用閤適的同構方法獲得的麯麵。緊接著主要是從拓撲和群論的觀點齣發,講述一些歐幾裏得麯麵和球麵的分類,較為詳細地討論瞭一些有雙麯麯麵。由於常麯率麯麵理論和現代數學有很大的聯係,該書是一本理想的學習幾何的入門教程,用最簡單易行的方法介紹瞭麯率、群作用和覆蓋麵。這些理論融閤瞭許多經典的概念,如,復分析、微分幾何、拓撲、組閤群論和比較熱門的分形幾何和弦理論。《麯麵幾何學》內容自成體係,在預備知識部分包括一些綫性代數、微積分、基本群論和基本拓撲。

前言/序言
Geometry used to be the basis ofa mathematical education;today it IS not even a standard undergraduate topic.Much as I deplore this situation,1welcome the opportunity to make a fresh start.Classical geometry is nolonger an adequate basis for mathematics or physics-both of which arebe coming increasingly geometric-and geometry Can no longer be divorced from algebra,topology,and analysis.Students need a geometry of greater scope and the factthattherei Sno room for geometryin the curriculumus-til the third or fourth year at least allows 118 to as8ume some mathematical background.
What geometry should be taught?I believe that the geometry of surfaces of constant curvature is an ideal choice,for the following reasons:
1.It is basically simple and traditional.We are not forgetting euclideangeometry but extending it enough to be interesting and useful.Theextensions offer the simplest possible introduction to fundamentals ofmodem geometry:curvature.group actions,and covering 8paces.
2.The prerequisites are modest and standard.A little linear algebra fmostly 2×2 matrices),calculus as far as hyperbolic functions,basic group theory(subgroups and cosets),and basic topology(open,closed,and compact sets).
3.(Most important.)The theory of surfaces of constant curvature has maximal connectivity with the rest of mathematics.Such surfaces model the variants of euclidean geometry obtained by changing the parallel axiom;they are also projective geometries,Riemann surfaces, and complex algebraic curves.They realize all of the topological types of compact two-dimensional manifolds.Historically,they are the 80urce of the main concepts of complex analysis,differential geometry,topology,and combinatorial group theory.(They axe also the sOuroe of some hot research topics of the moment,such as[ractal geometry and string theory.)
The only problem with such a deep and broad topic is that it cannot be covered completely by a book of this size.Since.however,this IS the size 0f book I wish to write,I have tried to extend my formal coverage in two wavs:by exercises and by informal discussions.
