'Upward, yet not Northward.' How would a creature limited to two dimensions be able to grasp the possibility of a third? Edwin A. Abbott's droll and delightful 'romance of many dimensions' explores this conundrum in the experiences of his protagonist, A Square, whose linear world is invaded by an emissary Sphere bringing the gospel of the third dimension on the eve of the new millennium. Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of our 'respective dimensional prejudices'. In a world where class is determined by how many sides you possess, and women are straight lines, the prospects for enlightenment are boundless, and Abbott's hypotheses about a fourth and higher dimensions seem startlingly relevant today. This new edition of Flatland illuminates the social and intellectual context that produced the work as well as the timeless questions that it raises about the limits of our perception and knowledge. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分 评分焦建/文 上完中学的几何课程之后,除了对数学有兴趣的人,估计不会有太多人还对于平面和纬度产生兴趣。作为一种理解更加艰深知识的工具,这些概念被当做一种学习的跳板。我们都记得的公理是——点移动成线,线移动成面,面移动成体。立体图形成为学习的核心,除此之外,其他的...

评分有很多不知道是印刷错误还是原文的拼写错误(这个不至于吧?)难道书展上买到的也是盗版书?
