In 1884 the schoolteacher Edwin Abbott wrote a slender volume under
the pen name "A Square." This work detailed the culture and customs
of the residents of a two-dimensional world called Flatland - and
in the process it popularized concepts of higher geometry to a
Victorian public.
This survey of topics in Non-Euclidean Geometry is chock-full of
colorful diagrams sure to delight mathematically inclined babies.
Non-Euclidean Geometry for Babies is intended to introduce babies
to the basics of Euclid's Geometry, and supposes that the so-called
"Parallel Postulate" might not be true.
Mathematician Fred Carlson believes that it's never too early to
introduce children, and even babies, to the basic concepts of
advanced mathematics. He is sure that after reading this book, the
first in his "Mathematics for Babies" series, you will agree with
him
This is one of two versions of this title. The interior of both
books is identical, but the cover design on this one is done in
Baby Blue, perfect for babies who prefer the color blue instead of
pink.
The Pretty Pink version can be found here: http:

Visualize hypercheckers and hyperchess in the 4th dimension, rotate
a Rubik's hypercube, stack tesseracts together to build a
hyperpyramid or a hypercross, view a hypertable with hyperchairs,
climb hyperstairs, open the hyperdoor to a hyperhouse, watch
hypertelevision, read a hyperbook, arrange glomes in a 4D lattice
structure to create hypercrystals, stack hyperfruits at a
hypersupermarket, record the position of a hyperstar with
hypercelestial coordinates, make a hypermap using hypercompass
directions, watch a spinning hyperplanet with tilt revolve around a
hypersun, see a sample alphanumeric system for writing and
arithmetic in 4D space, line up a shot on a hyperbilliards table,
enjoy hyperbowling or hypertennis, and contemplate an object's
reflection from a hyperplanar or hyperspherical mirror - all on
this colorful journey through the fourth dimension. Each page
consists of colorful images of four-dimensional objects with a
paragraph caption describing the figures at the bottom.
