Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The discussion about geometrical transformation is usually associated with a way of re-elaborating answers to the big question about what geometry is, where answers have been given by Hilbert, Klein, Yaglom, and others. From the works of Hoffer, Hiebert et al., we identify six elements to consider in the analysis of geometrical transformation: The geometrical transformation as an object, terminology and types of geometrical transformations, relationships and hierarchy in the notion of transformations, transformations as process or change, communication and reasoning with geometrical transformations, and cultural and historical elements in geometrical transformations.
The identification of each of these categories is based on the indicators that must be obtained in the various investigations that we seek to present in this Special Issue.
This process of generating indicators allows us to establish a stable analysis scheme that is finally the one we are trying to present to the scientific community of the Mathematics journal of MDPI. We invite researchers and scientists to contribute with the conceptual and empirical manuscripts in the Special Issue that should represent significant contributions in which different research perspectives of analysis should be adopted developing specific topics, such as New Insights into Geometrical Transformations.
This Special Issue focuses on a multidisciplinary research approach, in which several research areas have been involved: mathematical logic and mathematical foundation; algebraic geometry; geometry; computational mathematics; combinatorial mathematics; fuzzy mathematics; applied mathematics; and other areas of mathematical sciences.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
