The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof-deductive reasoning from a set of axioms-first arose. The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults. Even if you are familiar with the majority of the presented concepts, this (very) short intro, will surely provide you with a fresh and interesting way of viewing them. he study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof - deductive reasoning from a set of axioms - first arose.

especially in the 3rd part which is titled "Proofs", part 5 with dimensions and part 6 with Geometry. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics.

Iako je autor sve to fino objašnjavao, opet mislim da treba da postoji neka podloga znanja za lakše razumevanje svih ovih stvari koje on spominje.

It doesn't capture the imagination, and as far as math books are concerned, this quite simply isn't allowed. it is fascinating when, having thoughts of the debates of wether it was invented or discovered, and thinking about mathematics generally on very basic terms, how the phenomenas of the universe and nature (even in social and economic sciences) are translated from them to us through this language, how we preserve and receive that knowledge through mathematics. Neki ce možda biti razočarani jer nije detaljna, a neki što je prenapredna, ali meni se svidjela prvenstveno jer je prepuna činjenica koje do sada nisam čula ili shvatila na način objašnjen u knjizi.the book is more a descriptive approach for the technical side of mathematics and since it's written by a mathematician, you can sense their handprint on the subject matter, it may seem complex and dry on the surface but when you keep on going it introduces topics which might surprise you in lots of ways.

This second edition of the popular math teaching resource book Math Stories for Problem Solving Success offers updated true-to-life situations designed to motivate teenagers to use math skills for solving everyday problems. This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole.
