This single-volume compilation of two books explores the construction of geometric proofs. In addition to offering useful criteria for determining correctness, it presents examples of faulty proofs that illustrate common errors. High-school geometry is the sole prerequisite.Proof in Geometry, the first...

Basher Science: Algebra and Geometry created and illustrated by Simon Basher: The best-selling author of Math and Punctuation now turns his attention to the fun and funky characters in Geometry and Algebra. Meet Polygon and Plane, Reflection and Rotation, Odd Number and his buddy Even Number...

Learn geometry as you stargaze! Students will learn geometric shapes as they are engaged in reading about Greek mythology and the constellations. This high-interest math reader integrates math and literacy skills, combining informational text, problem-solving, and real-world connections to help students...

This book gives a comprehensive treatment of the Grassmannian varieties and their Schubert subvarieties, focusing on the geometric and representation-theoretic aspects of Grassmannian varieties. Research of Grassmannian varieties is centered at the crossroads of commutative algebra, algebraic geometry,...

Algebraic & geometry methods have constituted a basic background and tool for people working on classic block coding theory and cryptography. Nowadays, new paradigms on coding theory and cryptography have arisen such as: Network coding, S-Boxes, APN Functions, Steganography and decoding by linear...

This volume collects contributions written by different experts in honor of Prof. Jaime Muñoz Masqué. It covers a wide variety of research topics, from differential geometry to algebra, but particularly focuses on the geometric formulation of variational calculus; geometric mechanics and field...

Encompassing nature, science, art, architecture, and spirituality, and illustrated with over 700 photographs and line drawings, "The Hidden Geometry of Life" illuminates the secret underpinnings of existence. In her trademark easy-to-understand style, mathematician Karen French shows how...

Polytopes are geometrical figures bounded by portions of lines, planes, or hyperplanes. In plane (two dimensional) geometry, they are known as polygons and comprise such figures as triangles, squares, pentagons, etc. In solid (three dimensional) geometry they are known as polyhedra and include such...

The problem of enumerating maps (a map is a set of polygonal "countries" on a world of a certain topology, not necessarily the plane or the sphere) is an important problem in mathematics and physics, and it has many applications ranging from statistical physics, geometry, particle physics,...

Created especially for graduate students, this introductory treatise on differential geometry has been a highly successful textbook for many years. Its unusually detailed and concrete approach includes a thorough explanation of the geometry of curves and surfaces, concentrating on problems that will be most helpful to students. 1909 edition.

The articles in this volume are invited papers from the Marcus Wallenberg symposium and focus on research topics that bridge the gap between analysis, geometry, and topology. The encounters between these three fields are widespread and often provide impetus for major breakthroughs in applications. Topics...

The purpose of this monograph is two-fold:  it introduces a conceptual language for the geometrical objects underlying Painlevé equations,  and it offers new results on a particular Painlevé III equation of type  PIII (D6), called PIII (0, 0, 4, −4), describing its relation to isomonodromic...

Getting Inside the Mind of Nature: Discover the simple but powerful mathematics of the underlying geometric figures that shape our world Can geometry be exciting? It can for those who can appreciate the beauty of numbers and their relationships. This book contains a...

Can geometry be exciting?It can for those who can appreciate the beauty of numbers and their relationships.This eBook contains a meticulous geometric investigation of the 5 Platonic Solids and 5 other important polyhedra, as well as reference charts for each solid.Poly (many) hedron...
