Product Description
by Georg Glaeser (Author), Franz Gruber (Author)
Understanding geometry, physics, and biology
This is a
highly informative and richly illustrated nonfiction book that conveys
scientific content in a clear and understandable way. Drawing on
numerous examples, it explains topics from geometry, physics, and
biology and points out commonalities between the disciplines. The book
contains approx. 300 links to video animations and is accompanied by a
freely accessible interactive software that allows readers to delve even
deeper into the content covered in the book.
The content,
videos, and software were developed by the Department of Geometry at the
University of Applied Arts Vienna. Georg Glaeser's research focuses
particularly on interdisciplinary mathematical and biological issues,
and he worked for many years with Franz Gruber, who was highly adept at
visualizing complex issues.
