A breathtakingly illustrated look at botanical spirals and the scientists who puzzled over them.Charles Darwin was driven to distraction by plant spirals, growing so exasperated that he once begged a friend to explain the mystery 'if you wish to...

Age range 14+One of the hardest questions that mathematics teachers have to answer is 'Why?' Schoolroom sums are crucial in learning the awesome power of mathematics, but they are often a world away from how the knowledge is applied and where it came...

A fascinating and authoritative look at how geometry changed the world of art forever.Geometry & Art follows the artists of the Renaissance, whose search for perspective and visual depth led them to the study of geometry. Influencing the work of...

A foundational account of a new construction in the p-adic Langlands correspondenceMotivated by the p-adic Langlands program, this book constructs stacks that algebraize Mazur's formal deformation rings of local Galois representations. More precisely, it...

A fascinating exploration of the pentagon and its role in various culturesThe pentagon and its close cousin, the pentagram, have inspired individuals for the last two and half millennia, from mathematicians and philosophers to artists and naturalists...

The Doctrine of Triangles offers an interdisciplinary history of trigonometry that spans four centuries, starting in 1550 and concluding in the 1900s. Glen Van Brummelen tells the story of trigonometry as it evolved from an instrument for understanding...
