Description
"How can we be sure that Pythagoras's theorem is really true? Why is the 'angle in a semicircle' always 90 degrees? And how can tangents help determine the speed of a bullet? Following in the footsteps of his bestselling The Calulus Story, David Acheson offers a highly illustrated tour of geometry, from ancient Greece to the present day, packed with elegant deductions and wide applications. And along the way, he uncovers some of the loveliest surprises in mathematics"--Jacket.
