Description
This book is about shapes, space, and symmetry. It explains the structure of the nine regular solids-tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron among them-as well as many semiregular solids, and demonstrates how they can be used to explain mathematics visually. There are also instructions for constructing cardboard models of each.
Aimed at the layman as well as the student or professional in mathematics, this book explains the structure of the nine regular solids-tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron among them-as well as many semiregular solids, and demonstrates how they can be used to explain mathematics visually rather than by symbol systems. Instructions for constructing cardboard models of each. Over 300 photographs and drawings. Index.
