Synopsis
The definitive book on tiling and geometric patterns, this magnificently illustrated volume features 520 figures and more than 100 tables. Accessible to anyone with a grasp of geometry, it offers numerous graphic examples of two-dimensional spaces covered with interlocking figures, in addition to related problems and references.
Suitable for geometry courses as well as independent study, this inspiring book is geared toward students, professional mathematicians, and readers interested in patterns and shapes―artists, architects, and crystallographers, among others. Along with helpful examples from mathematics and geometry, it draws upon models from fields as diverse as crystallography, virology, art, philosophy, and quilting. The self-contained chapters need not be read in sequence, and each concludes with an excellent selection of notes and references. The first seven chapters can be used as a classroom text, and the final four contain fascinating browsing material, including detailed surveys of color patterns, groups of color symmetry, and tilings by polygons.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Created by the founder of modern functional analysis, this is the first text on the theory of linear operators, written in 1932 and translated into English in 1987. Author Stefan Banach's numerous mathematical achievements include his theory of topological vector spaces as well as his contributions to measure theory, integration, and orthogonal series. In this volume, he articulates the theory of linear operators in terms of its aesthetic value, in addition to expressing the scope of its arguments and exploring its many applications. The author focuses on results concerning linear operators defined principally in Banach spaces. He interprets general theorems in a variety of areas, including group theory, differential and integral equations, equations with infinitely many unknowns, functions of a real variable, summation methods, and orthogonal series. In addition to his use of algebraic tools, Banach employs the methods of general set theory. Extensive supplementary material on the theory of Banach spaces appears at the end of the text. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, this classic is recommended for all students of applied functional analysis. This definitive book on tiling includes 520 figures and over 100 tables. Accessible to anyone with a grasp of geometry, its illustrated examples feature related problems and references. 1987 edition.
