The Non-Euclidean Revolution (Paperback, 1st ed. 2001. 2nd printing 2008)

Richard Trudeau confronts the fundamental question of truth and its representation through mathematical models in The Non-Euclidean Revolution. First, the author analyzes geometry in its historical and philosophical setting; second, he examines a revolution every bit as significant as the Copernican revolution in astronomy and the Darwinian revolution in biology; third, on the most speculative level, he questions the possibility of absolute knowledge of the world. A portion of the book won the Polya Prize, a distinguished award from the Mathematical Association of America.
