A Participatory Approach To Modern Geometry

Download or read book A Participatory Approach To Modern Geometry written by Jay Kappraff and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to make the subject of geometry and its applications easy and comfortable to understand by students majoring in mathematics or the liberal arts, architecture and design. It can be used to teach students at different levels of computational ability and there is also sufficient novel material to interest students at a higher cognitive level. While the book goes deeply into the applications of geometry, it contains much introductory material which up to now may not have been known to the student. The constructive approach using compass and straightedge engages students, not just on an intellectual level, but also at a tactile level. This may be the only rigorous book offering geometry that attempts to engage students outside of the mathematics discipline.

Download or read book Geometric Foundations Of Design: Old And New written by Jay Kappraff and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant to serve either as a textbook for an interdisciplinary course in Mathematics of Design, or as a trade book for designers. It will also be of interest for people interested in recreational mathematics showing the connection between mathematics and design. Topics from the book can also be adapted for use in pre-college mathematics. Each chapter will provide the user with ideas that can be incorporated in a design. Background materials will be provided to show the reader the mathematical principles that lie behind the designs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive work is a result of four year research within the international project Women's Creativity since the Modern Movement, and brings new insights into women in architecture, construction, design, urban planning and landscape architecture in Europe and in the rest of the world. It is divided into eight chapters that combine 116 articles on topics: A. Women’s education and training: National and international mappings; B. Women’s legacy and heritage: Protection, restoration and enhancement; C. Women in communication and professional networks; D. Women and cultural tourism; E. Women’s achievements and professional attainments: Moving boundaries; F. Women and sustainability: City and Landscape; G. Women ‘as subjects’: Documentation, methodology, interpretation and enhancement; SG. Design drawings. / Obsežno delo je plod štiriletnih raziskav v okviru mednarodnega projekta MoMoWo - Ženska ustvarjalnost od modernizma dalje in prinaša nova spoznanja na področju žensk v arhitekturi, gradbeništvu, oblikovanju, urbanizmu in krajinski arhitekturi v Evropi in širše. Razdeljena je v osem poglavij, ki združujejo 116 prispevkov na temo o njihovi izobraženosti, kulturni zapuščini, vključevanju v stanovska združenja ali njihovim prispevkom h kulturnemu turizmu in stroki ter raziskovanju njihovega dela. Zaključi jo poglavje z grafičnimi prilogami.

Download or read book The Geometry of Hessian Structures written by Hirohiko Shima and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geometry of Hessian structures is a fascinating emerging field of research. It is in particular a very close relative of Knhlerian geometry, and connected with many important pure mathematical branches such as affine differential geometry, homogeneous spaces and cohomology. The theory also finds deep relation to information geometry in applied mathematics. This systematic introduction to the subject first develops the fundamentals of Hessian structures on the basis of a certain pair of a flat connection and a Riemannian metric, and then describes these related fields as applications of the theory."

Download or read book Selected Topics In Geometry With Classical Vs. Computer Proving written by Pavel Pech and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007-11-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook presents various automatic techniques based on Gröbner bases elimination to prove well-known geometrical theorems and formulas. Besides proving theorems, these methods are used to discover new formulas, solve geometric inequalities, and construct objects — which cannot be easily done with a ruler and compass.Each problem is firstly solved by an automatic theorem proving method. Secondly, problems are solved classically — without using computer where possible — so that readers can compare the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches.

Download or read book Modern Development and Challenges in Virtual Reality written by Mamata Rath and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual reality (VR) is one of the technologies with the highest expectations for future growth. By creating realistic images and objects, a VR environment gives the user the impression that they are completely engrossed in their surroundings. VR applications that go beyond leisure, tourism, and marketing are now in high demand and thus the technology must be user-friendly and economical. The major technology firms are already striving to create headsets that do not require cables and that allow for high-definition viewing. Artificial intelligence is being used to control VR headsets that have far more powerful CPUs. The new standard will also offer some intriguing capabilities, like the ability to connect huge user communities and additional gadgets. Customers will be able to get photos in real-time in corporate settings, almost as if they were seeing them with their own eyes. This book presents a comprehensive overview of VR applications in medicine, electric vehicles, aviation, architecture, and more.

Download or read book Beyond Measure written by Jay Kappraff and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of essays that stand on their own but are also loosely connected. Part I documents how numbers and geometry arise in several cultural contexts and in nature: scale, proportion in architecture, ancient geometry, megalithic stone circles, the hidden pavements of the Laurentian library, the shapes of the Hebrew letters, and the shapes of biological forms. Part II shows how many of the same numbers and number sequences are related to the modern mathematical study of numbers, dynamical systems, chaos, and fractals.
