Metamathematische Methoden in der Geometrie: Part I: An axiomatic structure of Euclidean geometry Part II: Metamathematical Views (university text) (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.
