Geometry does not have to be confusing! Inside Mathematics:
Geometry helps make sense of all of those lines and angles by
showing its fascinating origins and how that knowledge is applied
in everyday life. Written to engage and enthuse young minds, this
accessible overview introduces readers to the amazing people who
figured out how shapes work and how they can be used to build
spaces and study places we cannot go, like the beginning of the
Universe. Filled with enlightening illustrations and images,
Geometry is arranged chronologically, from Euclid's revolution to
the Poincare conjecture, to clearly show how ideas in mathematics
evolved from the Ancient Egyptians in 3000 BC to the present day.
What began as scratched circles and squares in the dirt has evolved
into a branch of mathematics used to create realistic landscapes in
video games, build mile-high skyscrapers, and manufacture robots so
tiny they can swim in your bloodstream.
