Release Notes

Maintaining the standard of excellence set by the previous edition, this
textbook covers the basic geometry of two- and three-dimensional spaces Written
by a master expositor, leading researcher in the field, and MacArthur Fellow, it
includes experiments to determine the true shape of the universe and contains
illustrated examples and engaging exercises that teach mind-expanding ideas in
an intuitive and informal way. Bridging the gap from geometry to the latest work
in observational cosmology, the book illustrates the connection between geometry
and the behavior of the physical universe and explains how radiation remaining
from the big bang may reveal the actual shape of the universe.
