. The Shape of Space, Jeffrey R. Weeks 2002, second edition, illustrated, 405 pages, pdf file http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Weeks_(mathematician) ********************************************************************** "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-expanding ideas in an intuitive and informal way. Bridging the gap from geometry to the latest work in observational cosmology, the book illustrates the connection between geometry and the behavior of the physical universe and explains how radiation remaining from the big bang may reveal the actual shape of the universe." ********************************************************************** Part I Surfaces and Three-Manifolds Part II Geometries on Surfaces Part III Geometries on Three-Manifolds Part IV The Universe **********************************************************************  Sharing Widget |
