66. Euclid's Window : The Story of Geometry from Parallel Lines to Hyperspace by Leonard Mlodinow | |

Editorial Review Product Description Through Euclid's Window Leonard Mlodinow brilliantly and delightfully leads us on a journey through five revolutions in geometry, from the Greek concept of parallel lines to the latest notions of hyperspace. Here is an altogether new, refreshing, alternative history of math revealing how simple questions anyone might ask about space -- in the living room or in some other galaxy -- have been the hidden engine of the highest achievements in science and technology. Based on Mlodinow's extensive historical research; his studies alongside colleagues such as Richard Feynman and Kip Thorne; and interviews with leading physicists and mathematicians such as Murray Gell-Mann, Edward Witten, and Brian Greene, Euclid's Window is an extraordinary blend of rigorous, authoritative investigation and accessible, good-humored storytelling that makes a stunningly original argument asserting the primacy of geometry. For those who have looked through Euclid's Window, no space, no thing, and no time will ever be quite the same. This is not just a history of geometry--it's a timeline of reason andabstraction, with all the major players present: Euclid, Descartes, Gauss,Einstein, and Witten, each represented by a minibiography. Lots of examples pepper the narrative to help readers achieve their own"eureka!" And it's impossible not to be staggered at the mathematical featsof these geniuses, accomplished as many of them were in the absence ofanything but observation and intense thought. Each story buildssatisfactorily on the last, until at the end of this delightful book, onehas a sense of having climbed a peak of understanding. A working knowledge of basic geometry is helpful but not essential forenjoying Euclid's Window, and Mlodinow's chatty style lends itselfremarkably well to explaining these deep and revolutionary concepts.--Adam Fisher Customer Reviews (57)

Editorial Review Product Description This volume introduces techniques and theorems of Riemannian geometry, and opens the way to advanced topics. The text combines the geometric parts of Riemannian geometry with analytic aspects of the theory, and reviews recent research. The updated second edition includes a new coordinate-free formula that is easily remembered (the Koszul formula in disguise); an expanded number of coordinate calculations of connection and curvature; general fomulas for curvature on Lie Groups and submersions; variational calculus integrated into the text, allowing for an early treatment of the Sphere theorem using a forgotten proof by Berger; recent results regarding manifolds with positive curvature. |

Very Good for the interested reader Excellent background reading for a teacher!
Classic problems of geometry made simple
Well done.. Thetitle describes the book perfectly.These really are "Famous Problemsfrom Geometry" and he does indeed explain how to solve them. Thebook has four major sections/chapters.He discusses in detail the threeproblems from antiquity (one section each):squaring a circle, doubling acube, and trisecting an angle.Furthermore, he spends significant timewith constructions of regular polygons (the fourth section) - which onescan be constructed and why. He also discusses which ones cannot beconstructed and why. The reader will be expected to understand conceptsfrom Modern Algebra, particularly the concept of a Field.While Bold doesspend time explaining what a Field is, his definition is quick and isassumed to be more of a refresher for someone who has already learned aboutthem.Bold also has a section on Complex Numbers where he derives one ofthe formulas used later in the book.Again - this section is assumed to bea refresher on Complex Numbers.High School Geometry or Algebra studentswould have significant trouble understanding his explanations andproofs. Bold provides problems for the reader to work along the way. These are problems that logically lead to the proof of the problem beingstudied.The problems are good.As a third year college student majoringin mathematics, I found the explanations/solutions to be sometimes hard tofollow.He assumes a great deal about the reader's level of proficiency inmath and in geometry.As a result, he liberally skips steps in proofs thatare assumed to be "obvious." If you're expecting simple proofsto these problems, you're not going to find them.If they were simple,they wouldn't have taken 2000 years to solve.But they are explainedclearly here in terms that anyone with a college degree should be able tounderstand. Overall, a superb book.A must have for anyone interestedin the famous problems from the history of Geometry. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Now you can discover the answers to these and other fascinating questions about elementary geometry—the study of shapes. Packed with illustrations, Geometry for Every Kid uses simple problems and activities to teach about acute and obtuse angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, plane and space figures, and much more! By arranging the pieces of an intriguing Chinese puzzle called a tangram, you'll explore all the different shapes you can form. You'll also learn how to create a colorful 3-D drawing that seems to rise right off the page! And, by building a geoboard, you'll discover a quick, fun way to compare the area of different geometric figures. Each of the activities is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and an easy to understand explanation. Every project has been pretested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home. Also available in this series from Janice VanCleave: Customer Reviews (4)

79. Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries: Development and History by Marvin J. Greenberg | |

-- used & new: US$54.48 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0716799480 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description This is the definitive presentation of the history, development and philosophical significance of non-Euclidean geometry as well as of the rigorous foundations for it and for elementary Euclidean geometry, essentially according to Hilbert. Appropriate for liberal arts students, prospective high school teachers, math. majors, and even bright high school students. The first eight chapters are mostly accessible to any educated reader; the last two chapters and the two appendices contain more advanced material, such as the classification of motions, hyperbolic trigonometry, hyperbolic constructions, classification of Hilbert planes and an introduction to Riemannian geometry.
