Description
"A mathematician named Klein Thought the Moebius band was divine. Said he: 'If you glue The edges of two, You'll get a weird bottle like mine.' " - Stephen Barr. In this lively book, the classic in its field, a master of recreational topology invites readers to venture into such tantalizing topological realms as continuity and connectedness via the Klein bottle and the Moebius strip. Beginning with a definition of topology and a discussion of Euler's...

Description
"How is a subway map different from other maps? What makes a knot knotted? What makes the Mobius strip one-sided? These are questions of topology, the mathematical study of properties preserved by twisting or stretching objects. In the 20th century, topology became as broad and fundamental as algebra and trigonometry, with important implications for science, especially physics." --

Description
Sam has moved to a new neighborhood with his family. Kids will learn about position and direction by following along with Sam in his new home. Where will he put things in his room--top, bottom, inside, or outside? Where is his new friend hiding--behind, in front, above, or below? Simple text and diagrams also teach such concepts as up and down, left and right, and north, south, east, and west.

En este estudio, se examina la subestructura matemática de las obras del artista gráfico neerlandés M.C. Escher. Los efectos matemáticos en las obras de Escher pueden clasificarse en ciertos temas. Los más importantes pueden ordenarse como la división regular del plano, las paradojas visuales y las ficciones sobre la estructura de la perspectiva y la topología geométrica. Para cada uno de estos temas, se

Description
Designed as a text for a one-year first course in topology, this authoritative volume offers an excellent general treatment of the main ideas of topology. It includes a large number and variety of topics from classical topology as well as newer areas of research activity. There are four set-theoretic chapters, followed by four primarily algebraic chapters. Chapter I covers the fundamentals of topological and metrical spaces, mappings, compactness,...

Description
"Math Without Numbers is a vivid, conversational, and wholly original guide to the three main branches of abstract math--topology, analysis, and algebra--which turn out to be surprisingly easy to grasp. This book upends the conventional approach to math, inviting you to think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs, and how these concepts all fit together. What awaits readers is a freewheeling tour...

Description
Conceived in 1904, the Poincaré conjecture, a puzzle that speaks to the possible shape of the universe and lies at the heart of modern topology and geometry, has resisted attempts by generations of mathematicians to prove or to disprove it.
