Re: Hilbert's Geometry Axioms

Ken,

I misread what you wrote at first.  You're saying that the English
version of the Borsuk/Szmielew book (which I have) is different from
the earlier work in Polish, in which they set up a system based only on
points, betweenness and equidistance.  I see.

That's really interesting.  And too bad that it's in Polish.  I'd love
to see that approach in English.

Thanks again,
Chris
