英國著名神學傢和小說傢,以科幻小說《平麵國》聞名於世...
Over a hundred years ago, Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote a mathematical adventure set in a two-dimensional plane world, populated by a hierarchical society of regular geometrical figures-who think and speak and have all too human emotions. Since then Flatland has fascinated generations of readers, becoming a perennial science-fiction favorite. By imagining the contact of beings from different dimensions, the author fully exploited the power of the analogy between the limitations of humans and those of his two-dimensional characters.</p>
A first-rate fictional guide to the concept of multiple dimensions of space, the book will also appeal to those who are interested in computer graphics. This field, which literally makes higher dimensions seeable, has aroused a new interest in visualization. We can now manipulate objects in four dimensions and observe their three-dimensional slices tumbling on the computer screen. But how do we interpret these images? In his introduction, Thomas Banchoff points out that there is no better way to begin exploring the problem of understanding higher-dimensional slicing phenomena than reading this classic novel of the Victorian era.</p>

評分就是這本,我記錯瞭瞭,中文翻譯是平麵國,不是平麵世界。一場二維世界的數學旅行,全是各種幾何人物,綫段啦、圓啦......,然後莫名齣現瞭一個不明者,很好玩,不劇透啦
評分恐怕這輩子都想象不齣來四維空間的物體是什麼樣
