ISBN-10: 3662519003

ISBN-13: 9783662519004

in line with a sequence of lectures for grownup scholars, this vigorous and pleasing booklet proves that, faraway from being a dusty, boring topic, geometry is in reality jam-packed with good looks and fascination. The author's infectious enthusiasm is positioned to take advantage of in explaining a number of the key strategies within the box, beginning with the Golden quantity and taking the reader on a geometric trip through Shapes and Solids, during the Fourth measurement, polishing off with Einstein's Theories of Relativity.
Aimed at a normal readership, the textual content makes available advanced matters similar to Chaos and Fractals. It incorporates a wealth of the author's personal illustrations and lines appendices on similar topics.
Equally appropriate as a present for a teenager or as a nostalgic trip again into the realm of arithmetic for older readers, John Barnes' booklet is the precise antidote for somebody whose maths classes in class are a resource of painful stories. the place as soon as geometry was once a resource of bewilderment and frustration, Barnes brings enlightenment and entertainment.
