商品描述

Geometry does not have to be confusing Inside Mathematics: Geometry helps make sense of all of those lines and angles by showing its fascinating origins and how that knowledge is applied in everyday life.

Written to engage and enthuse young minds, this accessible overview introduces readers to the amazing people who figured out how shapes work and how they can be used to build spaces and study places we cannot go, like the beginning of the Universe. Filled with enlightening illustrations and images, Geometry is arranged chronologically, from Euclid's revolution to the Poincar conjecture, to clearly show how ideas in mathematics evolved from the Ancient Egyptians in 3000 BC to the present day. What began as scratched circles and squares in the dirt has evolved into a branch of mathematics used to create realistic landscapes in video games, build mile-high skyscrapers, and manufacture robots so tiny they can swim in your bloodstream.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

幾何學不必令人困惑，《數學的內涵：幾何學》幫助人們理解那些線條和角度的迷人起源，以及這些知識如何應用於日常生活中。這本書旨在吸引和激發年輕的思維，為讀者介紹那些發現形狀運作原理的驚人人物，以及這些原理如何用來建造空間和研究我們無法到達的地方，例如宇宙的起源。書中充滿了啟發性的插圖和圖片，《幾何學》按時間順序排列，從歐幾里得的革命到龐加萊猜想，清楚地展示了數學思想如何從公元前3000年的古埃及人演變至今。最初在泥土上劃出的圓形和方形，已演變成一個數學分支，用於創建視頻遊戲中的真實景觀、建造高達一英里（約1.6公里）的摩天大樓，以及製造可以在你血液中游泳的微型機器人。
