The authors devote a chapter to each icon, illustrating its presence in real life, its primary mathematical characteristics and how it plays a central role in visual proofs of a wide range of mathematical facts. Among these are classical results from plane geometry, properties of the integers, means and inequalities, trigonometric identities, theorems from calculus, and puzzles from recreational mathematics.Dolciani Mathematical ExpositionsGeometryFamous problemsGeometrical constructionsGeneration of geometric formsProof theoryMathematical notationGeometrical drawingGeometry, PlaneVisualizationGeometryFamous problems.Geometrical constructions.Generation of geometric forms.Proof theory.Mathematical notation.Geometrical drawing.Geometry, Plane.Visualization.516.2/04Alsina Claudi309455Nelsen Roger B.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910812249803321Icons of mathematics4095579UNINA
