=========================== The Big Red Geometry Book =========================== Many years ago, studying algebra in a distant land, some helpful students had written a little guide to the subject. It was, "The Big Red Algebra Book" and was a guide to keeping a pet algebra. It was indeed red, I may still have a copy, hand written, with cartoons and reproduced by some ancient magic. It also happened to be a rather good guide to the whole subject and why it might even matter. I am hoping that this project here will turn into a big red *geometry* book. It feels an appropriate title for the project as it is very much a story of how geometry changes wavelength over time, with red shift at the centre of the story. .. Image:: images/tbrab.jpg
