Abstract
Perspective is concerned with the problem of representing a three dimen-sional object, for example the box in Fig. 11.2 (left), on a two dimensional canvas.
“Unter den Leistungen der letzten f¨unfzig Jahre auf dem Gebiete der Geometrie nimmt die Ausbildung der projectivischen Geometrie die erste Stelle ein. [Among the advances of the last fifty years in the field of geometry, the development of projective geometry occupies the first place; transl. by M.W. Haskell]” (F.Klein, first sentence of Erlanger Programm, 1872)
