Книга на основе серий лекций для студентов, направлена на широкий круг читателей.Живая и развлекательная книга доказывает, что далеко не пыльный, тупой предмет, геометрия , на самом деле полна красоты и очарования. Заразительный энтузиазм и иллюстрации от автора, делают доступными сложные темы, такие как Хаос и фракталы, теория относительности Эйнштейна.Based on a series of lectures for adult students, this lively and entertaining book proves that, far from being a dusty, dull subject, geometry is in fact full of beauty and fascination. The authors infectious enthusiasm is put to use in explaining many of the key concepts in the field, starting with the Golden Number and taking the reader on a geometrical journey via Shapes and Solids, through the Fourth Dimension, finishing up with Einsteins Theories of Relativity.Aimed at a general readership, the text makes accessible complex subjects such as Chaos and Fractals. It includes a wealth of the authors own illustrations and features appendices on related topics.Equally suitable as a gift for a youngster or as a nostalgic journey back into the world of mathematics for older readers, John Barnes book is the perfect antidote for anyone whose maths lessons at school are a source of painful memories. Where once geometry was a source of confusion and frustration, Barnes brings enlightenment and entertainment.
