Royaumont's Aftermath in Iceland - Motion Geometry, Transformations and Groups
In the Meran Program in 1905 and at the Royaumont Seminar in 1959, among the main themes were transformation geometry, including motion geometry, and group theory. Those themes entered some Danish mathematics textbooks and the English School Mathematics Project's textbook series, both used in I...
