Polyhedra: A Visual Approach#

By Anthony Pugh

Book Overview

Rear cover notes: "The orderliness and regularities of polyhedra provoke intuitive feelings that they must be significant; however, systematic studies of these three-dimensional figures have been consigned to mathematical treatises. By contrast, Mr. Pugh describes polyhedra in visual terms, as a series of interrelated shapes. He begins with the simple Platonic polyhedra, then evolves descriptions of more complex figures, such as geodesic and irregular polyhedra. While not requiring a mathematical background, the book is nevertheless rigorous and systematic. It includes examples of geometric problems, tables of geometric data, and previously unpublished chord factors for geodesic polyhedra." This description may be from another edition of this product.
