Sinossi
Geometric Exercises in Paper-Folding introduces plane geometry through hands-on paper folding, with clear explanations and vivid diagrams.
This edition follows a careful revision by the editors, including added references and many half-tone photographs to replace the original line drawings.
This book blends classic geometry with practical folding methods. It guides readers from the fundamental square to regular polygons, conic sections, and other curves, showing how simple folds reveal deep geometric truths without heavy machinery. It emphasizes concepts like symmetry, congruence, and the visual nature of proofs, while demonstrating how algebra and trigonometry illuminate geometric ideas.- Learn to fold squares into equal parts, right triangles, and other basic shapes without instruments.
- See how folding can illustrate polygonal, circle, and conic concepts in a concrete way.
- Explore topics from the square to nonagons, decagons, and beyond, plus general principles and interesting curves.
- Appreciate the historical and educational context of paper-folding as a tool for understanding geometry.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique approach to understanding geometry, using the familiar and accessible tool of paper folding. The author, a pioneer in this field, draws on the principles of Euclidean geometry while introducing novel methods and applications. The book guides readers through the construction of various regular polygons, from squares and equilateral triangles to pentagons, hexagons, and even nonagons. The author skillfully integrates principles of algebra and trigonometry, demonstrating how they can illuminate geometric concepts. Readers will find themselves exploring fascinating problems of ancient and modern geometry, unveiling the hidden relationships between these often separate disciplines. The book's exploration of geometric series and harmonic progressions not only provides visual representations of these fundamental mathematical concepts but also delves into intriguing historical problems, like the Delian problem of duplicating a cube. The author's detailed examination of polygons and their properties leads to a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts of area, perimeter, and the calculation of pi. This book offers a refreshing and engaging approach to geometry, inviting readers of all ages to rediscover the beauty and elegance of this fundamental mathematical discipline.
