Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Absolutely Everything

Product Information

So chess, for all its lore and mystique, is the same kind of thing as Nim and tic-tac-toe. If two absolutely perfect players faced off, either white would always win, white would always lose, or the game would always end in a draw. A hemisphereis half of a sphere, formed by cutting a sphere along a flat plane. It has a curved surface, and its base is a circle. Cylinders and Cones A bookcase doesn’t necessarily have to be placed along the wall of a room. It can also be used as a room divider if placed in the middle, with the short side against the wall. This is a great way to create some room for a small workspace or home office. Different walls require different fixing devices

I will not attempt to summarize the book's content, because it is so dense with ideas as to be incompressible. Want to learn about machine learning, epidemics, biostatistics, game theory, Google search algorithms, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, neural nets, cryptography, and how they're all interconnected? It's all in there, explained in a way that felt like encountering the ideas for the first time, usually because I was.

Like young Lincoln breaking things into their first principles until they become simple enough for him to understand

How Many Mice Make An Elephant? and other big questions about size and distance’ will be an invaluable addition to any KS1 or KS2 classroom wishing to engage the students with maths and its uses. What really carried this book for me was the author's ability to explain things clearly and enthusiastically, often with diagrams and concrete examples. The book is quite accessible. It starts off with the author talking about how he thinks geometry should be taught. He also mentions that he initially wasn't good at geometry. It's clear that he wants to students to have fun and understand things, not just memorize them. As someone who's essentially going to be his student reading this book, that was nice to hear. I loved Jordan Ellenberg's earlier book, How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking, and it was a hard act to follow. But not for Ellenberg, as this book is also great. While the title, "Shape" implies that this book is about geometry--and it is--it is also about so much more. This book shows how mathematics is applicable to just about everything under the sun. And Ellenberg manages to make it all so fascinating! The sheer depth at which he covers an incredibly diverse range of topics is staggering. This is the type of book that I love! Ellenberg is a professor of mathematics, so he certainly knows what he is talking about! Circle:A circle is an equally round shape. Picture the lid of a jar, flat, from above. That is a circle. The wheels on a car are circular, as well. So are the holes in most lined paper and notebooks. We hope you and your children have fun learning with these adorable books about shapes. Happy reading!

Confession: I glossed over some parts when my energy at the time wasn’t into full grasping of the topic in that section. Markov chains were discovered because and atheist Markov wanted to disprove the free-will proof that his super religious peer Nekrasov had formulated (the proof hinged on the assumption that to have stable long term probability the agents in the system must be independent) Review: This is a very colorful picture book. It has pictures of shapes that are all around us, inside and outside. The book has concrete shapes and also shapes that are harder to see. This book could be used for beginners and children who are a bit more advance since it has a variety of pictures. Star: A star is a polygon with multiple points, often five or more. Stars are prevalent geometrical shapes in our daily lives, representing various aspects of culture, such as religion, symbolism, and decoration.
