The presentation is self-contained and based on the structural properties of the group SL[symbol](real number). Starting from elementary facts in group theory, the author unveils surprising new results about the geometry of circles, parabolas and hyperbolas, using an approach based on the Erlangen programme of F. Klein, who defined geometry as a study of invariants under a transitive group action. The treatment of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic Mobius transformations is provided in a uniform way. This is possible due to an appropriate usage of complex, dual and double numbers which represent all non-isomorphic commutative associative two-dimensional algebras with unit. The hypercomplex numbers are in perfect correspondence with the three types of geometries concerned. Furthermore, connections with the physics of Minkowski and Galilean space-time are considered. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Möbius transformations.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85086391 650 7 Möbius transformations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1032042 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKisil, Vladimir V.|tGeometry of möbius transformations.|dLondon, UK : Imperial College Press ; Singapore: World Scientific, 2012|z9781848168589 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=479894|zOnline eBook.
