Book
Shape : the hidden geometry of information, biology, strategy, democracy, and everything else / Jordan Ellenberg.
"Shape reveals the geometry underneath some of the most important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we face. Geometry asks: Where are things? Which things are near each other? How can you get from one thing to another thing? Those are important questions. Geometry doesn't just measure the world--it explains it. Shape shows us how"-- Provided by publisher.
The power of geometry can help us think better about practically everything in our daily lives: the geometry we learn in school is only a tiny part of the subject. Ellenberg reveals the geometry underneath some of the most important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we face.He shows that geometry doesn't just measure the world-- it explains it. -- adapted from jacket
