Mind-bending geometry for curious universe-watchers

If you love books that make abstract ideas suddenly feel graspable, this one has that rare magic. Jeffrey Weeks has a gift for turning surfaces, manifolds, and even the shape of the universe into something you can actually picture. It feels both playful and profound, especially if you enjoy math that opens a door into cosmology and makes you see space itself differently.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This textbook covers the basic geometry of two- and three-dimensional spaces, with illustrated examples and exercises to develop intuition. It bridges geometry and cosmology, highlighting how geometric structure relates to the behavior of the physical universe, including a discussion of how cosmic microwave background radiation informs ideas about the shape of the universe.
