This is a revised edition of the ?rst printing which appeared in 2002.
The book is based on lectures at the University of Bergen, Norway.Over
the years these lectures have covered many different aspects and
facets of the wonderful ?eld of geometry. Consequently it has never
been possible to give a full and ?nal account of geometry as such, at
an undergraduatelevel: A carefully consideredselection has always been
necessary. The present book constitutes the main central themes of
these selections. One of the groups I am aiming at, is future teachers
of mathematics. All too oftenthe textsdealingwith geometrywhichgo
intothe syllabusforteacher-students present the material in ways which
appear pedantic and formalistic, suppressing the very powerful and
dynamic character of this old ?eld, which at the same time so young.
Geometry is a ?eld of mathematical insight, research, history and
source of artistic inspiration. And not least important, an integral
part of our common cultural heritage.
