First, the author analyzes geometry in its historical and philosophical setting; second, he examines a revolution every bit as significant as the Copernican revolution in astronomy and the Darwinian revolution in biology; third, on the most speculative level, he questions the possibility of absolute knowledge of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTrudeau writes in a lively, entertaining, and highly accessible style. His book provides one of the most stimulating and personal presentations of a struggle with the nature of truth in mathematics and the physical world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA portion of the book won the Pólya Prize, a distinguished award from the Mathematical Association of America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274524876951,"sku":"9780817642372","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780817642372.webp?v=1769280182","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-non-euclidean-revolution-with-an-introduction-by-h-s-m-coxeter-9780817642372","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
