Description
Since the days of Euclid, who lived more than two thousand years ago, everyone thought that there was only one geometry. However, this radically changed with new mathematical discoveries that revealed new, alternative geometries in curved spaces. It may seem unbelievable to you, but in this book, you will learn that all these universes actually exist, and moreover, that we all live in them. The author focuses on one non-Euclidean geometry in each chapter and explains its significance and properties in an understandable way using practical examples – from Renaissance paintings to the theory of relativity and artificial intelligence.
