Winner of the Euler Book Prize Awarded by the Mathematical Association of AmericaWith more than 200 full color photographs, this nontraditional, tactile introduction to nonEuclidean geometries also covers early development of geometry and connections between geometry, art, nature, and sciences. For the crafter or wouldbe crafter, there are detailed instructions for how to crochet various geometric models and how to use them in explorations.From the Foreword by William Thurston:'These models have a fascination far beyond their visual appearance. As illustrated in the book, there is actually negative curvature and hyperbolic geometry all around us, but people generally see it without seeing it. You will develop an entirely new understanding by actually following the simple instructions and crocheting! The models are deceptively interesting. Perhaps you will come up with your own variations and ideas. In any case, I hope this book gives you pause for thought and changes your way of thinking about mathematics.'
