Text of Note

Often a solution to a problem lies simply in finding its correct description. It is this underlying concept that consolidates the text of this unique and lively survey of geometric ideas. In Geometric Concepts for Geometric Design, its authors provide a way in which to visualize a variety of geometric problems and present the tools for their accurate representation. Disassociating fundamental ideas and methods from special applications, they clarify these concepts for the reader and allow him to apply the material to other problems of a geometric nature. Relying on the idea that a picture is worth a thousand words, the text is beautifully illustrated with a variety of elucidating figures and diagrams. Anyone attracted to or wishing a deeper understanding of the beauty of geometric mysteries will find this book an engaging and invaluable guide.
