Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometry for the Artist is based on a course of the same name which started in the 1980s at Maharishi International University. It is aimed both at artists willing to dive deeper into geometry and at mathematicians open to learning about applications of mathematics in art. The book includes topics such as perspective, symmetry, topology, fractals, curves, surfaces, and more. A key part of the book’s approach is the analysis of art from a geometric point of view—looking at examples of how artists use each new topic. In addition, exercises encourage students to experiment in their own work with the new ideas presented in each chapter. This book is an exceptional resource for students in a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course, and since many assignments involve writing about art, this text is ideal for a writing-intensive course. Moreover, this book will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in connections between mathematics and art. Features Abundant examples of artwork displayed in full color Suitable as a textbook for a general-education mathematics course or teacher-education geometry course Designed to be enjoyed by both artists and mathematicians

Book excerpt: The History of Mathematics is a six-volume set that examines the development of the science through discovery, innovation, collaboration, and experimentation. Designed to complement mathematics curricula, each volume covers a significant development in recent mathematical history as well as the subject's origins. The books represent a fascinating overview of the contributions that mathematical research has made to the physical world. Beyond Geometry examines topology, a major branch of mathematics concerned with the presentation of spatial properties under continuous deformations, such as stretching, from its inception in the early 19th century to today. Throughout history, Euclidean geometry was the accepted language of mathematics, but as mathematicians began to see its limitations, new theorems were tested that evolved into this new branch of mathematics. The book gives a straightforward overview of the rapid advancement of topology and explains such subsets of set-theoretic topology as dimension theory. It also includes an exclusive interview with Dr. Scott Williams, a distinguished professor of mathematics at the University of Buffalo, who discusses the contributions and goals of this innovative field of mathematics. The volume includes information on dimension history of topology the Hausdorff dimension limitations of geometry the Moore method set theory the standard axioms topological spaces The book contains 30 color photographs and four-color line illustrations, sidebars, a chronology, a glossary, a detailed list of print and Internet resources, and an index. The History of Mathematics is essential for high school students, teachers, and general readers who wish to understand the contributions of the major branches of mathematics. Book jacket.
