Make: Geometry: Learn by coding, 3D printing and building

Geometry,  of all the branches of mathematics, is the one that is most easily  visualized by making something. However, it is all too easy to reduce it  to reams of formulas to memorize and proofs to replicate. This book  aims to take geometry back to its practical roots with 3D printed models  and puzzles as well as demonstrations with household objects like  flashlights and paper towel tubes.

This is not a  traditional geometry textbook, but rather builds up understanding of  geometry concepts while also bringing in elements of concepts normally  learned much later. Some of the models are counterintuitive, and  figuring out how and why they work will both entertain and give  insights. Two final chapters suggesting open-ended projects in astronomy  and physics, and art and architecture, allow for deeper understanding  and integration of the learning in the rest of the book.
