Description
Conceived in 1904, the Poincaré conjecture, a puzzle that speaks to the possible shape of the universe and lies at the heart of modern topology and geometry, has resisted attempts by generations of mathematicians to prove or to disprove it. Despite a million-dollar prize for a solution, Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman, posted his solution on the Internet instead of publishing it in a peer-reviewed journal. This book "tells the story of the...

How a simple equation reshaped mathematics
Leonhard Euler's polyhedron formula describes the structure of many objects-from soccer balls and gemstones to Buckminster Fuller's buildings and giant all-carbon molecules. Yet Euler's theorem is so simple it can be explained to a child. From ancient Greek geometry to today's cutting-edge research, Euler's Gem celebrates the discovery...

Description
"Norm the Narwhal has a secret: he is a pirate and collector of treasures. Or is he? Norm's friends do not think his objects are treasure until they see what he has been creating. In this heartwarming tale, young readers help Norm pick out objects that will fit on his tusk. Mathematical ideas, including the concept of topological "holes," are encountered along the way. Travel with Norm and discover that there is more to the world than meets the eye:...
