This is the first of three volumes originating from a series of lectures in mathematics for high school students, given by professors of Kyoto University in Japan. The main purpose of the lectures was the show students the beauty of mathematics using material that is accessible to people with little preliminary knowledge. A chapter on topology contains three lectures on the Euler characteristics, vortices created by winds, and curvature of the surface. Three lectures on dimension address the Peano curve, Poincaré's approach, and three-dimensional manifolds. The book was originally published in Japanese in 1995 by Iwanami Shoten, Publishers, Tokyo, Japan. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book will bring the beauty and fun of mathematics to the classroom. It offers serious mathematics in a lively, reader-friendly style. Included are exercises and many figures illustrating the main concepts. The first chapter presents the geometry and topology of surfaces. Among other topics, the authors discuss the Poincare-Hopf theorem on critical points of vector fields on surfaces and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem on the relation between curvature and topology (the Euler characteristic).The second chapter addresses various aspects of the concept of dimension, including the Peano curve and the Poincare approach. Also addressed is the structure of three-dimensional manifolds. In particular, it is proved that the three-dimensional sphere is the union of two doughnuts. This is the first of three volumes originating from a series of lectures given by the authors at Kyoto University (Japan). It is suitable for classroom use for high school mathematics teachers and undergraduate mathematics courses in the sciences and liberal arts. The second volume is available as Volume 20 in the AMS series, ""Mathematical World"". A third volume is forthcoming. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9780821832820
