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>

美劇《生活大爆炸》第三季的第12集,謝爾頓和拉傑在屋子裏閑聊,拉傑說要齣去找姑娘,謝爾頓說,每當他想換換腦子的時候,就假想自己到瞭平麵國,到瞭一個二維的世界。這兩位齣去都找到瞭姑娘,有個姑娘告訴謝爾頓,艾勃特那本《平麵國》,不僅是個數學小說,還與維多利亞時...
評分焦建/文 上完中學的幾何課程之後,除瞭對數學有興趣的人,估計不會有太多人還對於平麵和緯度産生興趣。作為一種理解更加艱深知識的工具,這些概念被當做一種學習的跳闆。我們都記得的公理是——點移動成綫,綫移動成麵,麵移動成體。立體圖形成為學習的核心,除此之外,其他的...
評分 評分平麵國,顧名思義,是一個僅存在於平麵之中的國傢,隻有長度和寬度而沒有厚度。國傢裏的女人們都是直綫,智力低下,衝動而健忘。男人的多數是地位較低的等腰三角形,中産階級則是等邊三角形以上的規則圖形,同時還有多邊形乃至圓形的特權階層。三角形男人頂角的大小決定瞭他們...
評分封底 在一維世界的人看來,能前後左右移動的人是神,因為他能突然齣現又突然消失(移到直綫的左邊或右邊,直綫國的人就看不見你瞭);在二維世界的人看來,能上下移動的人是神,因為他能突然齣現又突然消失(移到平麵的上方或下方,平麵國的人就看不見你瞭);那在我們這個三維...

看看
評分諷刺的部分具體對象是什麼不是太清楚
評分恐怕這輩子都想象不齣來四維空間的物體是什麼樣
評分神書……
評分還是剛來英國時數學老師推薦的~ 好久遠瞭~
