Description for Mathematical Space Odyssey
Hardcover. A book for secondary school and university teachers that presents various techniques for proving mathematical results in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Num Pages: 260 pages. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 228 x 152. .
Solid geometry is the traditional name for what we call today the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space. This book presents techniques for proving a variety of geometric results in three dimensions. Special attention is given to prisms, pyramids, platonic solids, cones, cylinders and spheres, as well as many new and classical results. A chapter is devoted to each of the following basic techniques for exploring space and proving theorems: enumeration, representation, dissection, plane sections, intersection, iteration, motion, projection, and folding and unfolding. The book includes a selection of Challenges for each chapter with solutions, references and a complete index. The ... Read more
