Cambridge University Press Oeuvres de Desargues Volume 1
The French mathematician Gérard Desargues (15911661) was one of the founders of projective geometry. His writings, published in two volumes in 1864 by Noël-Germinal Poudra (17941894), reveal Desargues' important role in the scientific debates of the seventeenth century. Volume 1 contains the majority of Desargues' treatises.

Johns Hopkins University Press Understanding Topology
Book SynopsisA fresh approach to topology makes this complex topic easier for students to master. Topologythe branch of mathematics that studies the properties of spaces that remain unaffected by stretching and other distortionscan present significant challenges for undergraduate students of mathematics and the sciences. Understanding Topology aims to change that. The perfect introductory topology textbook, Understanding Topology requires only a knowledge of calculus and a general familiarity with set theory and logic. Equally approachable and rigorous, the book's clear organization, worked examples, and concise writing style support a thorough understanding of basic topological principles. Professor Shaun V. Ault's unique emphasis on fascinating applications, from mapping DNA to determining the shape of the universe, will engage students in a way traditional topology textbooks do not. This groundbreaking new text: presents Euclidean, abstract, and basic algebraic topology explains metric topTrade ReviewA perfect introductory topology textbook, Understanding Topology requires only a knowledge of calculus and a general familiarity with set theory and logic. Equally approachable and rigorous, the textbook's clear organization, worked examples, and concise writing style support a thorough understanding of basic topological principles, and might reasonably be expected to become a standard reference for teaching backgrounds of topology in the years to come.—Marek Golasinski (Olsztyn), Zentralblatt MathA useful book for undergraduates, with the initial introduction to concepts being at the level of intuition and analogy, followed by mathematical rigour.—John Bartlett CMath MIMA, Mathematics TodayTable of ContentsPrefaceI Euclidean Topology1.

Dorling Kindersley Ltd The Humongous Book of Geometry Problems
Book SynopsisAre you a befuddled math student who's struggling with geometry? The Humongous Book of Geometry Problems is like no other geometry workbook on the market and is the answer for anyone who doesn’t speak math. Bestselling author W. Michael Kelley helps make otherwise baffling solutions perfectly clear by taking a typical geometry workbook, filling it with solved problems, and making notes in the margins to add missing steps and simplify concepts. By learning how to interpret and solve problems as they are presented in courses, students will become fully prepared to solve even the most obscure geometry problem. No more solving by trial and error! Here’s what you’ll find in this this fun and simple guide: • 1000 geometry problems and solutions, each solved to completion • Annotations and helpful notes for each problem to help clarify the solutions and fill in the missing steps needed to reach the solutions • Coverage of all the critical geometry concepts, with each explained in detail and in simple, straightforward language that any student can grasp and apply

Shelter Harbor Press Geometry (Inside Mathematics): Understanding
Book SynopsisAge range 14+One of the hardest questions that mathematics teachers have to answer is 'Why?' Schoolroom sums are crucial in learning the awesome power of mathematics, but they are often a world away from how the knowledge is applied and where it came from. Inside Mathematics: Geometry is there to fill that gap. The word 'geometry' means to 'measure the Earth.' Ancient mathematicians wanting to do more than count money and merchandise used geometry to model the natural world and then the world of numbers that lies behind it. What began by scratching circles and squares in the dirt has led to to infinitely large shapes you could hold in your hand, a Universe in which straight lines can be curved, and Internet search engines that handle information as structures with hundreds of dimensions. Inside Mathematics: Geometry introduces the amazing people who figured out how shapes work and how they can be used to unlock secrets of nature. Written to engage, and enthuse young people, it show readers how ideas of long-dead geniuses ended up in their homework assignment: Trigonometry is not just about triangles — it can tell you how big the Universe is. Not every polyhedron has three dimensions: The tesseract of sci-fi movies really exists as a four-dimensional cube that can turn itself inside out.
