Constructing the Universe Bundle
A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe Michael Schneider leads us on a spectacular, lavishly illustrated journey along the numbers one through ten to explore the mathematical principles made visible in flowers, shells, crystals, plants, and the human body, expressed in the symbolic language of folk sayings and fairy tales, myth and religion, art and architecture. This is a new view of mathematics, not the one we learned at school but a comprehensive guide to the patterns that recur through the universe and underlie human affairs. A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe shows you: Why cans, pizza, and manhole covers are round. Why one and two weren't considered numbers by the ancient Greeks. Why squares show up so often in goddess art and board games. What property makes the spiral the most widespread shape in nature, from embryos and hair curls to hurricanes and galaxies. How the human body shares the design of a bean plant and the solar system. How a snowflake is like Stonehenge, and a beehive like a calendar. How our ten fingers hold the secrets of both a lobster and a cathedral. And much more. "In this book you will find something that cannot be obtained elsewhere, a complete introduction to the geometric code of nature, written and illustrated by the most perceptive of its modern investigators." ----from the Preface by John Michell Zome Geometry This book offers grades 8-12 and above more than 60 easy-to-follow activities and over 150 explorations into the geometry of nature inherent in Zome System. This book is meant to supplement geometry textbooks or build elective courses around. Zome Geometry is written to be used with the Advanced Mathematics Creator Kit. 264 pages of exploration and education! Advanced Math Kit Build like Zome inventors build. Take the largest Zome kit and add to it 2 lengths of green struts, 3 lengths of blue-green struts and extra nodes. The green struts take you into new Zome capabilities, above and beyond any other kit. GreenLines allow for 122 possible directions to take from just one node (as opposed to an impressive 62 directions). |
