Mathematics : Geometry

This book provides an in-depth discussion of the theory of finite packings and coverings by convex bodies. It contains various new results and arguments and provides a comprehensive treatment of problems whose interplay was not clearly understood before. Two-dimensional and higher-dimensional arrangements are discussed separately, arrangements of congruent convex bodies in Euclidean space are discussed, and the density of finite packing and covering by balls in Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces is considered. more...

Flexagons are paper models that can be flexed in different ways to change their shape. They are easy to make, and work in surprising ways. This book explains the maths behind flexagons and includes instructions to make them. Flexagons will appeal to anyone interested in puzzles or recreational maths. more...

This unique reference, aimed at research topologists, gives an exposition of the 'pseudo-Anosov' theory of foliations of 3-manifolds. This theory generalizes Thurston's theory of surface automorphisms and reveals an intimate connection between dynamics, geometry and topology in 3 dimensions. - ;This unique reference, aimed at research topologists, gives an exposition of the 'pseudo-Anosov' theory of foliations of 3-manifolds. This theory generalizes Thurston's theory of surface automorphisms and reveals an intimate connection between dynamics, geometry and topology in 3 dimensions. Significant themes returned to throughout the text include the importance of geometry, especially the hyperbolic geometry of surfaces, the importance of monotonicity, especially in. 1-dimensional and co-dimensional dynamics, and combinatorial approximation, using finite combinatorical objects such as train-tracks, branched surfaces and hierarchies to carry more complicated continuous objects. - ;This unique reference, aimed at research topologists, gives an exposition of the 'pseudo-Anosov' theory of foliations of 3-manifolds.

The relation between mathematics and physics has a long history, in which the role of number theory and of other more abstract parts of mathematics has become prominent. This book focuses on the broader interface of number theory, geometry, and physics. It is presented in three parts: Conformal Field Theories, Discrete Groups, and Renormalization. more...
