Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Offering a plethora of discussion starters, conjecture catalysts, and exercises,
Perspective and Projective Geometry invites students to connect math with art and aesthetics. It pulls no punches with respect to the rigor of the mathematics. But it also gives newer math students the necessary tools to engage with the material and discover knowledge for themselves."
—Evelyn Lamb, blogger for Scientific American"For years, Annalisa Crannell has brought her insights and excitement for perspective, both in geometry and art, to her teaching, writing, and workshops. Now, with coauthors Mark Frantz and Fumiko Futamura, she has produced a superb textbook on this subject, ideal for classes or self-study."
—Thomas Banchoff, former president of the Mathematical Association of America"Filled with ideas for rich and highly original classroom activities,
Perspective and Projective Geometry guides students to make deep connections to the geometry in art. It is wholly different than any other textbook I’ve seen on projective geometry."
—Jessica Sidman, Mount Holyoke College"From Menelaus and elations to window taping and writing mathematics, this book provides a delightful mesh of classical geometry, perspective in art, beautiful graphics, and an exploratorium of exercises.
Perspective and Projective Geometry is enjoyable reading and a valuable textbook for a variety of courses."
—Doug Norton, Villanova University
