Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); overall a nice used copy! Full-color pictorial boards with black and white lettering. 173 historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations!

Mathematical drawings related to proofs have been produced since antiquity in China, Arabia, Greece and India but only in the last thirty years has there been a growing interest in so-called 'proofs without words.' In this book the authors show that behind most of the pictures 'proving' mathematical relations are some well-understood methods. The first part of the book consists of twenty short chapters, each one describing a method to visualize some mathematical idea (a proof, a concept, an operation.) and several applications to concrete cases.
