Abstract
The Geometry of Numbers is concerned with a study of the relationships between point lattices and sets of points. In this course of lectures I want to give an account of some of the basic general results of the subject. I will confine my attention to the study of what may be called homogeneous problems, and will say nothing about non-homogeneous problems; partly because eight lectures are not too many to devote to the homogeneous problems, and partly because it is the theorems on the homogeneous problems which form the basis of the subject. The results on non-homogeneous problems tend to be rather special or rather simple.
