Equi-affine geometry
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The branch of affine geometry that studies the invariants of an affine unimodular group of transformations. The most important fact is the existence in equi-affine geometry of areas of parallelograms in plane geometry and of volumes of parallelepipeds in three-dimensional geometry.
