4.9/5 (11666 ratings)

Description:Now in a revised and expanded new edition, this volume chronologically traces the evolution of Euclidean, non-Euclidean, and relativistic theories regarding the shape of the universe. A unique, highly readable, and entertaining account, the book assumes no special mathematical knowledge. Itreviews the failed classical attempts to prove the parallel postulate and provides coverage of the role of Gauss, Lobachevskii, and Bolyai in setting the foundations of modern differential geometry, which laid the groundwork for Einstein's theories of special and general relativity. This updatedaccount includes a new chapter on Islamic contributions to this area, as well as additional information on gravitation, the nature of space and black holes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
