The Shape of Space, Third Edition maintains the standard of
excellence set by the previous editions. This lighthearted textbook
covers the basic geometry and topology of two- and
three-dimensional spaces-stretching students' minds as they learn
to visualize new possibilities for the shape of our universe.
Written by a master expositor, leading researcher in the field, and
MacArthur Fellow, its informal exposition and engaging exercises
appeal to an exceptionally broad audience, from liberal arts
students to math undergraduate and graduate students looking for a
clear intuitive understanding to supplement more formal texts, and
even to laypeople seeking an entertaining self-study book to expand
their understanding of space. Features of the Third Edition:
Full-color figures throughout "Picture proofs" have replaced
algebraic proofs Simpler handles-and-crosscaps approach to surfaces
Updated discussion of cosmological applications Intuitive examples
