  • MediaDB / «Euclidean window. The history of geometry from parallel lines to hyperspace" Leonard Mlodinov: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2014 / We are accustomed to taking for granted the two most important natural human skills - imagination and abstract thinking, but in vain: "Euclidean Window" tells us how our ability to imagine what we cannot see has evolved. This book is a delightful mixture of scientific authority and hilarious fun, turning classical theories and concepts of geometry into accessible, captivating stories. Thanks to Mlodinow: You don't have to be a mathematician or a physicist to comprehend the mysteries of space and marvel at the splendor of the world order. Translation: Shashi Martynova
