This book presents beautiful photos of mathematical models of
geometric surfaces made from a variety of materials including
plaster, metal, paper, wood, and string. The construction of these
models at the time (of Felix Klein and others) was not an end in
itself, but was accompanied by mathematical research especially in
the field of algebraic geometry. The models were used to illustrate
the mathematical objects defined by abstract formulas, either as
equations or parameterizations. In the second part of the book, the
models are explained by experts in the field of geometry. This book
is a reprint thirty years after the original publication in 1986
with a new preface by Gert-Martin Greuel. The models have a
timeless appeal and a historical value.
