Explores 2-D and 3-D shapes.

"Shape reveals the geometry underneath some of the most important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we face. Geometry asks: Where are things? Which things are near each other? How can you get from one thing to another thing? ... Geometry doesn't just measure the world--it explains it. Shape shows us how"--

Introduces students to the link between abstract concepts in Geometry and real-world applications.

"The characteristics of circles as well as how to find the radius, diameter, circumference, and area of a circle are explained and illustrated in this geometry picture book"--

Uses cartoon-style characters to explain the basics of algebra and geometry, discussing such concepts as numbers, shapes, equations, relations, functions, and graphs.

The ever-expanding field of extremal graph theory encompasses a diverse array of problem-solving methods, including applications to economics, computer science, and optimization theory. This volume, based on a series of lectures delivered to graduate students at the University of Cambridge, presents a concise yet comprehensive treatment of extremal graph theory. Unlike most graph theory treatises, this text features complete proofs for almost all...

Back to the Metriscape carries dramatic implications about the way math has been taught. It adds something that brings new meaning and understanding, so much so that new things in the book can be seen as an indispensable part that has been missing.

To remove the contents of an egg without puncturing its shell or to drink the liquor in a bottle without removing the cork is clearly unthinkable - or is it? Understanding the world of Einstein and curved space requires a logical conception of the fourth dimension. This readable, informative volume provides an excellent introduction to that world, with 22 essays that employ a minimum of mathematics. Originally written for a contest sponsored by Scientific...
