Beschreibung:
These three volumes constitute the first complete English translation of Felix Klein's seminal series "Elementarmathematik vom höheren Standpunkte aus". "Complete" has a twofold meaning here: First, there now exists a translation of volume III into English, while until today the only translation had been into Chinese. Second, the English versions of volume I and II had omitted several, even extended parts of the original, while we now present a complete revised translation into modern English.
