Flatterland: Like Flatland Only More So Paperback - 2002

by Ian Stewart

"Flatland, " (1884) is one of the all-time classics of popular mathematics. Now, from science writer Ian Stewart, comes a superb sequel. Through larger-than-life characters and an inspired story line, "Flatterland" explores the present understanding of the shape and origins of the universe, as well as modern geometries and their applications. Illustrations.


From the publisher

Flatterland explores our present understanding of the shape and origins of the universe, the nature of space, time and matter, as well as modern geometries and their applications. The journey begins when our heroine, Victoria Line, comes upon her great-great-grandfather A. Square's diary, hidden in the attic. The writings help her to contact the Space Hopper, who tempts her away from her home and family in Flatland and becomes her guide and mentor through ten dimensions.

First line

Seen from space, it was a strange world, with the austere beauty of a page from Euclid.
