About this deal

There are chapters on Models, Numbers and Abstraction, Proofs, Limits and Infinity, Dimension, Geometry, Estimates and Approximations and a list of Frequently Asked Questions.

The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof--deductive reasoning from a set of axioms--first arose. The amount of equations is minimal, but still some maturity is required to fully appreciate the contents. Various geometries are presented, each with particularly engaging examples of problems that are formulated in that particular geometry.

The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults.This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Mathematics : A Very Short Introduction (2002) by Timothy Gowers is a good introduction to what Mathematicians actually do and what modern mathematics is really about.
