This book ... would give the students not only a new look at geometry but also a renewed appreciation for the power of linear algebra in other branches of mathematics. ... it is certainly something that any instructor interested in geometry or algebra would want to have. (Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, January, 2014) This beautiful, comprehensive, well-written and clearly structured book addresses all those who have to teach or learn geometry at an undergraduate level. More than 110 very aesthetical figures accompany the text and appeal to the geometric intuition of the reader; 41 references are recommended for further reading. The text is divided into 7 chapters, each begins with an overview and ends with problems and exercises.
