Sources of Hyperbolic Geometry

by John Stillwell

The first translation into English of the 19th-century papers by Beltrami, Klein, and PoincarT that brought hyperbolic geometry into the mainstream of mathematics. Substantial introductions to each of the six papers set the context and point out their contributions to such modern studies as low-dimensional geometry and topology.
