The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of geometry, from a point of view which complements Klein's Erlangen program. The emphasis is on extending the classical Euclidean geometry to the finite case, but it goes beyond that. After…

We develop a new class of distances for objects including lines, hyperplanes, and trajectories, based on the distance to a set of landmarks. These distances easily and interpretably map objects to a Euclidean space, are simple to compute,…
