Response
The Mathematical Association of America said about the book, "this book is a masterpiece — a delightful classic that should never go out of print".[2] Physics Today called it "a readable exposition of modern geometry and its relation to other branches of mathematics".[3] The Scientific Monthly said about it "has been a classic for twenty years . . . Although it deals with elementary topics, it reaches the fringe of our knowledge in many directions".[4]
