A sequel to Edwin A Abbott's book "Flatland", this book explores our understanding of the shape and origins of the universe, the nature of space, time, and matter, as well as geometries and their applications.

Leads us on a journey through five revolutions in geometry, from the Greek concept of parallel lines to the notions of hyperspace. This title reveals how simple questions anyone might ask about space in the living room or in some other galaxy have been the hidden engine of science's highest achievements.

This undergraduate textbook attempts to revitalize the topic of geometry by emphasizing the idea of transformation and unusual environments such as affine space and absolute space. Novel topics include the use of dominoes to illustrate six of the 17 space groups of two-dimensional crystallography.

Sacred geometry is one of the oldest subjects on Earth, from the great Pyramid to Gothic Architrcture to modern design, certain timless and universal principles have been studied, contemplated and put to use. This book covers the golden section, two-dimensional grids and much more. X15 mixed counter pack is available @ 74.85 on ISBN 1904263275.

Discusses the mythological properties assigned to geometric forms, and covers the Golden Section, gnomonic spirals, music, and the squaring of the circle.

Provides an overview of classic and hyperbolic geometries, placing the work of key mathematicians and philosophers in a historical context. Including coverage on geometric transformations, and modes of the hyperbolic planes and pseudospheres, with review notes and essay topics, this fourth edition is meant to accompany any geometry course.

A new paperback edition of a primer on three-dimensional space.

Illuminates Abbot's Victorian references, weaves in little known biographical information about Abbott and his intellectual circle, and traces the scientific evolution of geographical forms and dimensions. This title makes connections between Flatland and Abbott's life and times.

Offers an introduction to computational geometry. This textbook focuses on algorithms. It covers the basic techniques and topics from computational geometry, as well as several advanced topics. It features sections discussing Voronoi diagrams of line segments, farthest-point Voronoi diagrams, and realistic input models.

The solar system has long been suspected of hiding secret mysterious relationships and patterns. From the earliest known times people have studied the motions of planets. Now, just when we thought there were no more surprises left, John Martineau introduces the solar system in a totally new and original way! X15 mixed counterpack is available @ 74.85 on ISBN 1904263275

Since childhood, Raz has lived behind the walls of a 3,400-year-old monastery, a sanctuary for scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians. There, he and his cohorts are sealed off from the illiterate, irrational, and unpredictable saecular world.

The study of geometry has been an important element of education in Europe since the time of the Greeks. Drawing on many familiar examples, both ancient and modern, this book looks at the origins of classical geometry, and at its presence in various cultures throughout history. It also includes a range of unusual and engaging geometric problems.

This book comprehensively documents the many and varied ways that polyhedra have come to the fore throughout the development of mathematics.

Textbook for undergraduate courses on geometry or for self study that reveals the intricacies of geometry.

Suitable for beginners and experienced mathematicians, this book begins with examples of the simplest curves and surfaces, including thread constructions of certain quadrics and other surfaces. It offers a discussion of linkages and the geometry of configurations of points and rods that are connected and, perhaps, constrained in some way.
