First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition, Third Printing. "For two thousand years mathematicians knew about only two kinds of geometry - the plane and the sphere. But in the early nineteenth century they became aware of another space in which lines cavorted in aberrant formations. Offending reason and common sense, this new space came to be known as the hyperbolic plane. Although the properties of this space were known for 200 years, it was only in 1997 that mathematician Daina Taimina worked out how to make physical models of it. The method she used was crochet. Here, IFF director Margaret Wertheim presents a brief history of hyperbolic space in mathematics and nature, and offers a "field guide" to its crocheted manifestations." Printed card wraps, 8vo size (8.25 inches tall), pp. 97, [6], illiustrated w. photo reproductions and line drawings throughout. A fine copy, having just a few small marks on covers, else unmarked.
