Plane Transformations in a Complex Setting III: Similarities
Dana-Picard, Thierry
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v40 n3 p411-423 2009
This is the third part of a study of plane transformations described in a complex setting. After the study of homotheties, translations, rotations and reflections, we proceed now to the study of plane similarities, either direct or inverse. Their group theoretical properties are described, and their action on classical geometrical objects is studied. (Contains 4 figures.) [For Part II, see EJ764379.]
