Hardback. Zustand: Good. AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Triangles underpin our day-to-day lives and civilization as we know it.   In Love Triangle, Matt Parker argues we should all show a lot more love for triangles, along with all the useful trigonometry and geometry they enable. To prove his point, he uses triangles to create his own digital avatar, survive a harrowing motorcycle ride, cut a sandwich, fall in love, measure tall buildings in a few awkward bounds, and make some unusual art. Along the way, he tells extraordinary and entertaining stories of the mathematicians, engineers, and philosophers--starting with Pythagoras--who dared to take triangles seriously.   This is the guide you should have had in high school--a lively and definitive answer to "Why do I need to learn about trigonometry?"
