Dalla quarta di copertina
Travel through time exploring masterpieces of art and architecture while learning the mathematical concepts behind the creation of such works. Squaring the Circle: Geometry in Art and Architecture introduces topics in geometry within appropriate art and architecture contexts, illustrating non-traditional applications.
Squaring the Circle: Geometry in Art and Architecture is part of the NSF-funded Mathematics Across the Curriculum (MATC) project at Dartmouth College, which was developed to achieve the goal of allowing students to concentrate on their disciplines while using and improving their mathematical skills. This text can be used in both basic geometry courses and in cross-discipline courses in mathematics and art. In addition general readers and travelers alike will find this text to be a great resource.
Key features of this text include:
• Mathematical concepts presented geometrically and within the context of art and architecture
• Over 300 full-color image reproductions beautifully integrated throughout the text
• Over 800 illustrations demonstrating mathematical concepts
• Fully worked Examples and accompanying practice Exercises for each chapter
• Profiles of historical figures in mathematics and in art and architecture
• End of chapter Exercises and Projects containing a wide variety of problems, ranging from skill and drill to collaborative learning
• A rich appendix containing indexes to historical figures and locations, geometric constructions and formulas, and a complete bibliography
To begin your fascinating journey into the world of mathematics and art and architecture, open this textbook to the Preface and take a tour.
