Book Details
THE BRITANNICA GUIDE TO GEOMETRY
This book is a comprehensive look at geometry—its
history, discoverers, and applications—including how
it works, and why it works. Along the way are imaginative
twists and opposing viewpoints.
For example, the father of geometry, Euclid, as is often
recounted in high school geometry lessons, said that two
parallel lines never meet. Along came Bernard Riemann to
suggest that, of course parallel lines never meet—parallel
lines do not even exist.
