In this book, topics such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus and statistics are brought to life through over 500 applications ranging from biology, physics and chemistry to astronomy, geography and music. With over 600 illustrations emphasizing the beauty of mathematics, Math Tools complements more theoretical textbooks on the market, bringing the subject closer to the reader and providing a useful reference to students. By highlighting the ubiquity of mathematics in practical fields, the book will appeal not only to students and teachers, but to anyone with a keen interest in mathematics and its applications.

Mathematicians with special interest in biology, physics, geography, astronomy, architecture, design, etc., and being prepared to take pictures at any time, might try to answer unusual questions like the followings: What do a zebra, a tiger shark, and a hard coral have in common? How is this with drying mud, wings of dragon flies, and the structures of leaves? What is the "snail king" and is there also a "worm king"? Which curves stay of the same type after being photographed? Do fishes see like we do if we look through a fisheye lens? Which geometric properties of an object have physical consequences? Which kinds of geometric patterns appear when waves are interfering? In this book you can find 180 double pages with at least as many questions of this kind. The principle to attack a problem is often similar: It starts with a photo that is for some reasons remarkable. In a short description an explanation is offered, including relevant Internet links. Additionally one can frequently find computer simulations in order to illustrate and confirm. Mathematiker, die ein besonderes Interesse an Biologie, Physik, Geografie, Astronomie, Architektur, Design und anderen Naturwissenschaften zeigen und ständig bereit sind zu fotografieren, könnten versuchen, ungewöhnliche Fragen wie diese zu beantworten: Was haben ein Zebra, ein Tigerhai, und eine Steinkoralle gemeinsam? Und wie ist das mit trocknendem Schlamm, Libellenflügeln, und den Strukturen von Blättern? Was ist der "Schnecken-König" und gibt es auch einen "Wurm-König"? Sehen Fische die Welt wie wir, wenn wir durch eine Fisheye-Linse blicken? Welche geometrischen Eigenschaften eines Objektes haben physikalische Konsequenzen? Welche Arten geometrischer Muster treten bei Interferenz von Wellen auf? In diesem Buch finden sich auf 180 Doppelseiten mindestens genauso viele Fragen dieser Art. Das Prinzip der Annäherung an eine Frage ist oftmals ähnlich: Ausgangspunkt ist ein Foto, das aus irgendeinem Grund bemerkenswert ist. In einer Kurzbeschreibung wird dann die dazugehörige Frage erörtert und um Links zu themenspezifischen Internet-Ressourcen ergänzt.

This book returns geometry to its natural habitats: the arts, nature and technology. Throughout the book, geometry comes alive as a tool to unlock the understanding of our world. Assuming only familiarity with high school mathematics, the book invites the reader to discover geometry through examples from biology, astronomy, architecture, design, photography, drawing, engineering and more. Lavishly illustrated with over 1200 figures, all of the geometric results are carefully derived from scratch, with topics from differential, projective and non-Euclidean geometry, as well as kinematics, introduced as the need arises. The mathematical results contained in the book range from very basic facts to recent results, and mathematical proofs are included although not necessary for comprehension. With its wide range of geometric applications, this self-contained volume demonstrates the ubiquity of geometry in our world, and may serve as a source of inspiration for architects, artists, designers, engineers, and natural scientists. This new edition has been completely revised and updated, with new topics and many new illustrations.

Die „Geometrie und ihre Anwendungen“ ist für Personen geschrieben, die von relativ einfachen Problemen der ebenen Geometrie bis hin zu schwierigeren Aufgaben der Raumgeometrie Interesse an geometrischen Zusammenhängen haben. Ähnlich wie beim „mathematischen Werkzeugkasten“ stehen Anwendungen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen wie dem Ingenieurwesen, der Biologie, Physik, Astronomie, Geografie, Fotografie, Kunstgeschichte, ja sogar der Musik im Vordergrund. Die Anwendungsbeispiele veranschaulichen wichtige Begriffe der Geometrie wie Normalprojektion und Zentralprojektion, Krümmung von Kurven und Flächen, der Geometrie der Bewegung und sogar der Geometrie nichteuklidischer Räume. Stets hat die Raumvorstellung Vorrang. Das Buch kann daher auch von Personen ohne spezielle mathematische Vorbildung gelesen werden. Damit aber auch mathematisch Versierte nicht zu kurz kommen, wird ein analytisches Konzept mitgeliefert. Zwei praktische Kurse runden das Werk ab: zum geometrischen Freihandzeichnen und zur Geometrie des Fotografierens. Leicht verständliche Tipps sollen den Leser zur Fähigkeit hinführen, selbstständig prägnante und korrekte Raumskizzen zu machen, die der Schlüssel für alles tiefere Verständnis in der Geometrie sind. Dass geometrische Einsichten wiederum auch förderlich für Ästhetik und Aussagekraft von Fotos sind, beweisen nicht zuletzt Hunderte von Fotos in allen Kapiteln. Der Leser kann, je nach Vorbildung, an den verschiedensten Stellen beginnen. Durch Querverweise ist der Zusammenhang mit anderen Abschnitten rasch hergestellt. Die 3. Auflage ist um gut 60 Seiten erweitert und enthält zahlreiche neue Anwendungen mit hochwertigen Grafiken. Stimmen zur 1. Auflage: „Ein ungemein anregendes Buch! Kompliment!“ Prof. Dr. Albrecht Beutelspacher, Mathematikum, Gießen „Ein fesselndes Geometriebuch - voll mit atemberaubenden Bildern und originellen Gedanken.“ Dr. Hans-Peter Schröcker, Universität Innsbruck „Glaesers ‚Geometrie’ - ein Buch der Superlative!“ Prof. Dr. Johann Plankl, Fachhochschule Deggendorf Dr. Georg Glaeser ist Professor für Mathematik und Geometrie an der Universität für angewandte Kunst in Wien und Autor verschiedener Bücher im Bereich Computer-Geometrie sowie des Programmiersystems „Open Geometry“. Im selben Verlag hat er den „mathematischen Werkzeugkasten“ (3. Aufl.), „Wie aus der Zahl eine Zebra wird“, „Bilder der Mathematik“ (zusammen mit Konrad Polthier), „Praxis der digitalen Makrofotografie“ und „Die Evolution des Auges“ veröffentlicht. .
