    A classic in prime condition, as promised
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014*

I've only begun reading Klein, and I'm already fascinated.  I teach Mathematics on the college level, and I think this will greatly augment my knowledge of all things algebraic.  I've invented a method myself for the quick and easy solution of the second-order equation, and am now seeking to do the same for higher-orders.Professor Klein speaks through the decades!  Time will tell whether I and my colleagues will succeed in offering our students a handy modern application.

    Algebraic Geometry
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2006*

This is a famous book first published in German in 1884. In a fairly elementary way Professor Klein finds algebraic equations for the tetrahedron, cube and icosahedron by means of their rotational and reflection symmetry.Unfortunately there are no Figures such as provided by Coxeter,Regular Complex Polytopes,Cambridge Univ. Press 1991, probably because the facilities were not available. The tetrahedron,cube and icosahedron are all Platonic solids which the ancient Greeks recognised as basic to the construction of the physical universe and their finite symmetries are the basis of considerable study in particle physics today. Interestingly enough I plotted Klein's equation for the tetrahedron (using a computer program unavailable in 1884)and found a cube which is well-known to be isomorphic to the tetrahedron.

    Excellent but ...
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2007*

... but it's a real pity this edition doesn't include any of the figures which used to be present in the German-language editions. They were actually useful to better grasp the concepts discussed.Also, though far less important as it frequently happens with this kind of heavily theoretical topics, there's a lack of numerical examples.
