| dc.subject | In this thesis I analyze two historical sources related to the history of affine spaces, being 'Time, Space, Matter' by Hermann Weyl and "Lineale Ausdehnungslehre" by Hermann Grassmann. I compare these sources to the modern approach, identify some advantages and disadvantages to their approach and aim to conclude to what extent these sources present concepts of affine geometry as we know them today. | |
