Description

Geometry is not just about proving facts about triangles. It's about understanding the world around us. Jordan Ellenberg reveals how geometry explains many of the most important scientific, political and philosophical problems we face, from the spread of coronavirus to the rise of machine learning. The word 'geometry', from the Greek, means 'measuring the world'. But it doesn't just measure the world - it explains it. In this book, Ellenberg shows how geometry is used in many areas, including science, politics and philosophy. He explores how geometry can help us make sense of complex problems and find new solutions. By exploring the hidden geometry of absolutely everything, Ellenberg sheds light on some of the most pressing issues of our time. This book offers a fresh perspective on the subject, making it accessible to readers who may not have previously considered the role of geometry in their lives.
