Metamathematische Methoden in Der Geometrie: Part I: an Axiomatic Structure of Euclidean Geometry Part Ii: Metamathematical Views (University Text) (German Edition) Alfred Tarski German edition

This is an important contribution to Euclidean Geometry. Wolfram Schwabhäuser was a German mathematical logician, who studied model theory in geometry, and co-operated closely with Alfred Tarski and Wanda Szmielew over this book on the metamathematical foundation of Euclidean geometry, based on the Tarski axioms. A new forward in 2011 by Michael Beeson, Professor in the Math Department of San Jose State University, explains in lay terms the origins and differences between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries.
