Geometry and its Applications in Arts, Nature and Technology (Edition Angewandte) - Hardcover

From the reviews: “A marvelous book, abundantly illustrated. It contains many applications ... all with an underlying geometric flavor. ... What is immediately striking at first glance is the luxury of this publication: thick paper with hundreds of colorful glossy pictures and graphs. If you love books and geometry, this is one to fall in love with. ... This picture book is more than just a coffee-table book ... of a math department, because it contains not only many pictures, but also gives theorems and proofs(!).” (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, February, 2013)

Geometry and its Applications is meant to address those who are interested in geometrical relationships, from simple plane geometry problems to difficult tasks in spatial geometry. The main emphasis is on the application of geometry in different fields such as engineering, biology, art history and music. Important geometrical terms and concepts such as multi-view projection and 3D projection, the curvature of lines and surfaces, the geometry of movement and non-Euclidian space are explained with many examples and numerous photos. Two practical tutorials round off this volume: free-hand geometrical drawing and the geometry of photography. Easy to understand tips support readers as they create their own distinctive, accurate spatial sketches.
