This well-illustrated book—in colour throughout—presents an intensive creation to the math of Buckminster Fuller’s invention of the geodesic dome, which prepared the ground for a flood of useful purposes as various as climate forecasting and fish farms. the writer explains the foundations of round layout and the 3 major different types of subdivision according to geometric solids (polyhedra). He illustrates how simple and complicated CAD thoughts observe to round subdivision and covers sleek purposes in product layout, engineering, technology, video games, and activities balls.

Download e-book for iPad: The Geometry of Higher-Order Hamilton Spaces: Applications by R. Miron
This ebook is the 1st to provide an summary of higher-order Hamilton geometry with functions to higher-order Hamiltonian mechanics. it's a direct continuation of the ebook The Geometry of Hamilton and Lagrange areas, (Kluwer educational Publishers, 2001). It comprises the final idea of upper order Hamilton areas H(k)n, k>=1, semisprays, the canonical nonlinear connection, the N-linear metrical connection and their constitution equations, and the Riemannian virtually touch metrical version of those areas.

Get Discrete Differential Geometry: 38 (Oberwolfach Seminars) PDF
This is often the 1st e-book on a newly rising box of discrete differential geometry supplying a good technique to entry this intriguing zone. It offers discrete equivalents of the geometric notions and strategies of differential geometry, akin to notions of curvature and integrability for polyhedral surfaces.
Modern examine in algebraic geometry is the focal point of this assortment, which offers articles on smooth elements of the topic. The checklist of subject matters coated is a roll-call of a few of an important and lively issues during this thriving zone of arithmetic: the reader will locate articles on birational geometry, vanishing theorems, complicated geometry and Hodge thought, unfastened resolutions and syzygies, derived different types, invariant conception, moduli areas, and similar issues, all written by means of best specialists.
