Geometry and dynamics I: billiards,nge their velocities. The well known and spectacular case is where one is fixed; then the other remains fixed at the point of contact while the first leaves with the same velocity as the particle that hit it. If they encounter each other while going the same direction the result is still the same: t

Points and lines in the plane,, this has to do with Euclidean geometry, where there are distances (lengths), angles, circles, etc. This will also be the setting of the next chapter, but even in this first chapter we will see that we can already do many subtle and difficult things − and even find open questions − with only the so

The sphere by itself: can we distribute points on it evenly?,alls. It’s much more subtle than we might think, given the nice roundness and all the symmetriesof the object. Its geometry is indeed not made easier – at least for certain questions – by its being round, ., and bounded , in contrast to the Euclidean plane. Sect. III.3 will be the most representativ

Conics and quadrics,ith them for a long time, but talk about the quadrics only very briefly. We hope, however, that the chapter will please many readers. More knowledgeable – but not necessarily omniscient – readers may skip all the beginning material and just look at Sects. IV.8 and IV.9. Here are our motivations: we

We didn’t encounter this problem for curves, for the only abstract curves are the line and the circle, and we can always visualize them, with their internal geometry, as situated
