"Paul Halmos's writing affected the professional lives of nearly every mathematician in the latter half of the twentieth century, and it will continue to influence the profession for years to come." -- J. Ewing, Notices of teh Amer. Math. Spc."An exposition which is always fresh, proofs which are sophisticated, and a choice of subject matter which is certainly timely." - Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society."In one hundred and nine well-packed pages one finds an exposition which is always fresh, proofs which are sophisticated, and a choice of subject matter which is certainly timely. ... Most pages exhibit a zest for play as well as work which is refreshing." - E. R. Lorch (Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.)

Geometry, like arithmetic, requires for its logical development only a small number of simple, fundamental principles: the axioms of geometry. The choice of axioms and their relations to one another is a problem which, has been discussed since the time of Euclid. This problem is tantamount to the logical analysis of our intuition of space. Hilbert attempts to choose for geometry a simple and complete set of independent axioms and to deduce from these the most important geometrical theorems so as to bring out as clearly as possible the significance of the different groups of axioms and the scope of the conclusions to be derived from the individual axioms.
