,Gauss (Schweikart and Taurinus) and Gauss’s Differential Geometry,ew, the question is complicated: he accepted the possibility of a new geometry but never gave a connected account of it, even when, as briefly discussed here, he had discovered the intrinsic nature of the curvature of a surface.

,János Bolyai,new geometry applies to physical space). János Bolyai also gave trigonometric formulae for his geometry, noting reassuringly that they reduced to the familiar Euclidean ones for small triangles..Extract: Section 32 of Bolyai’s essay, which gives an approach that is close to that of intrinsic differential geometry.

Mathematics in the French Revolution,A brief account is given of the French revolution, with its implications for the organisation of advanced mathematical education in France. The Ecole Polytechnique was created, with Gaspard Monge as its Director. Monge’s descriptive geometry is introduced.

,The Plücker Formulae,The chapter looks at the use of Plücker’s theory of singular points to examine plane curves of degrees 3 and 4. It concludes with Plücker’s proof that the 28 bitangents to a plane quartic can all be real.

The Mathematical Theory of Plane Curves,The chapter develops the theory of singular points on plane algebraic curves, using homogeneous coordinates to first and higher polars to a curve, inflections points, the Hessian of curve, and to give a method for finding tangents to a curve.

Complex Curves,Bezout’s theorem, that curves of degrees . and . meet in . points, forces geometers to allow complex points on a curve, but despite this incentive the step to admit complex algebraic curves was resisted until Riemann’s work in the 1850s. An important stimulus was the study of elliptic integrals, which are necessarily complex.

Differential Geometry of Surfaces,The basic techniques in the differential geometry of surfaces are developed, including maps of surfaces onto a plane. Beltrami’s . (1868) and . (1870) are discussed..Extract: a lengthy series of passages from Beltrami’s ..
