A chapter is devoted to the creation of three dimensional objects and for the more mathematical mind there is a chapter on the representation of the designs using matrices. The book is full of remarkable illustrations, created by the author. If a picture is worth a thousand words then this book is a heavy tome.

Paint by Sticker Kids: Zoo Animals
Author: Workman Publishing
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761189602
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
Find the sticker, peel the sticker, place the sticker. And sticker by sticker, a koala appears! Or an elephant, frog, red panda, puffin, peacock, snake, giraffe, tiger, or gorilla. (And no mess to clean up!) Designed for children ages 5 and up, Paint by Sticker Kids: Zoo Animals uses low-poly art—a computer style that renders 3-D images out of polygon shapes—and removable color stickers so that kids can create 10 vibrant works of art. The stickers are larger, as befits the younger audience, and the card stock pages are perforated for easy removal, making them suitable for displaying.

Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments
Author: Martin Gardner
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470463652
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games columns in Scientific American inspired and entertained several generations of mathematicians and scientists. Gardner in his crystal-clear prose illuminated corners of mathematics, especially recreational mathematics, that most people had no idea existed. His playful spirit and inquisitive nature invite the reader into an exploration of beautiful mathematical ideas along with him. These columns were both a revelation and a gift when he wrote them; no one--before Gardner--had written about mathematics like this. They continue to be a marvel. This is the original 1988 edition and contains columns published from 1974-1976.
