Description

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.
