Product Description:
Symmetry, Shape, and Space uses the visual nature of geometry to involve readers in discovering mathematics. The text allows readers to study and analyze patterns for themselves, which in turn teaches creativity, as well as analytical and visualization skills. Varied content, activities, and examples lead readers into an investigative process and provide the experience of doing and discovering mathematics as mathematicians do. Exercises requiring readers to express their ideas in writing and to create drawings or physical models make math a hands-on experience. Assuming no mathematics beyond the high school level, Symmetry, Shape, and Space is the perfect introduction to mathematics, and it is designed so that each chapter is independent of the others, allowing great flexibility.

Sorry, any text book without a glossary fails its primary goal of making its information accessible.

The book does a good job of reintroducing basic geometry to the more remedial college mathematician. It also does a fine job of introducing higher order geometry. However, the best quality of the book is its ever present agenda to relate geometry to real life situations. This helped to give me a reason to study geometry for practical purposes. Too bad my professor is a douchebag.

This book will well serve any student who wants an interesting, visual approach to mathematics. A plethora of topics are explored including constructions, tessalations, other dimensions-the fourth dimension, polyhedra, three-dimensional symmetry, spiral growth, shape, graph theory, and topology.
All topics are presented, for the most part, in an intuitive, visual manner making it much easier for the average reader to grasp the concepts being presented. Students are required to analyze patterns ... Read More
