Exploring Geometry
Author: Michael Hvidsten
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1498760988
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
Exploring Geometry, Second Edition promotes student engagement with the beautiful ideas of geometry. Every major concept is introduced in its historical context and connects the idea with real-life. A system of experimentation followed by rigorous explanation and proof is central. Exploratory projects play an integral role in this text. Students develop a better sense of how to prove a result and visualize connections between statements, making these connections real. They develop the intuition needed to conjecture a theorem and devise a proof of what they have observed. Features: Second edition of a successful textbook for the first undergraduate course Every major concept is introduced in its historical context and connects the idea with real life Focuses on experimentation Projects help enhance student learning All major software programs can be used; free software from author

Geometry with Geometry Explorer
Author: Michael Hvidsten
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science, Engineering & Mathematics
ISBN: 9780072948639
Category : Geometry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Geometry with Geometry Explorer combines a discovery-based geometry text with powerful integrated geometry software. This combination allows for the deep exploration of topics that would be impossible without well-integrated technology, such as hyperbolic geometry, and encourages the kind of experimentation and self-discovery needed for students to develop a natural intuition for various topics in geometry..

Journey Through Genius
Author: William Dunham
Publisher: Penguin Books
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Like masterpieces of art, music, and literature, great mathematical theorems are creative milestones, works of genius destined to last forever. Now William Dunham gives them the attention they deserve. Dunham places each theorem within its historical context and explores the very human and often turbulent life of the creator — from Archimedes, the absentminded theoretician whose absorption in his work often precluded eating or bathing, to Gerolamo Cardano, the sixteenth-century mathematician whose accomplishments flourished despite a bizarre array of misadventures, to the paranoid genius of modern times, Georg Cantor. He also provides step-by-step proofs for the theorems, each easily accessible to readers with no more than a knowledge of high school mathematics. A rare combination of the historical, biographical, and mathematical, Journey Through Genius is a fascinating introduction to a neglected field of human creativity. “It is mathematics presented as a series of works of art; a fascinating lingering over individual examples of ingenuity and insight. It is mathematics by lightning flash.” —Isaac Asimov
