Maintaining the standard of excellence set by the previous edition, this textbook covers the basic geometry of two- and three-dimensional spaces Written by a master expositor, leading researcher in the field, and MacArthur Fellow, it includes experiments to determine the true shape of the universe and contains illustrated examples and engaging exercises that teach mind-expandin...(展开全部)

Mobius strips and Klein bottles first caught my interest when I was in high school. I knew they were part of something called "topology" and I was eager to learn more. Sadly, neither the school library nor the public one had much on the subject. Perhaps, I thought, I will learn more about topology in college. In college I couldn't even sign up for topology until my senior year,...(展开全部)

Space and time are the most fundamental features of our experience of the world, and yet they are also the most perplexing. Does time really flow, or is that simply an illusion? Did time have a beginning? What does it mean to say that time has a direction? Does space have boundaries, or is it infinite? Is change really possible? Could space and time exist in the absence of any ...(展开全部)

石上纯也的《建筑的新尺度》是建筑学领域最新成果，它不是对至今为止存在的构筑建筑的方法的质疑而是拓宽。 在建筑学的领域，我们所认识到的自然是简单的，远没有找到与自然的复杂性相对应的方式，石上的研究引导我们去思考不同的鸟类所飞行的高度，树和林的关系，恐龙的足迹，蝴蝶飞行的路线，以及人在特定空间里的流线等等，建筑学已经不是什么禅意，建构，空间，材料那些技术和玄学的词汇所能涵盖的世界。石上是从完全新的角度，拓宽了我们对建筑的认知。 日本两位最受瞩目的年轻建筑师，石上和藤本，石上先验者，藤本实验者。
