书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书漫画家拉里·戈尼克所著的几何学新图解指南

点的意义是什么?我们的底线在哪里?如果任何事物都有两面，那么三角形、正方形和多边形又有什么用呢?

再一次，数学家出身的漫画家Larry Gonick用他独特的天赋，诙谐、生动、清晰地阐述了另一个复杂的主题:几何。

从基本的几何概念——平面、直线和点——到基本的假设和详细的证明，《几何卡通指南》是平面几何所有基本知识的入门:角、三角形、面积、相似性，是的，还有毕达哥拉斯定理。精心定制的课标准和主题的标准化测试指南，这本书提供了创新的视觉效果，开发证明和结构与顺序的图形，而不是单一的插图。读者对关键思想有了深刻的理解，并从中获得乐趣。

A new illustrated guide to geometry—from New York Times bestselling cartoonist Larry Gonick

What's the point of points?  Where do we draw the line?  If there are two sides to everything, then what's up with triangles, squares, and polygons?

Once again, mathematician-turned-cartoonist Larry Gonick uses his unique gift for witty, lively, and clear exposition to demystify another complex subject: geometry.

Moving from the basic geometrical concepts—planes, lines, and points—through elementary postulates and to elaborate proofs, The Cartoon Guide to Geometry is a primer on all the essentials of plane geometry: angles, triangles, area, similarity, and, yes, the Pythagorean theorem.  Carefully tailored to the curriculum standards and standardized testing guidelines of the subject, the book provides innovative visuals that develop proofs and constructions with sequential graphics rather than single illustrations.  The reader emerges with a deep grasp of key ideas—and has fun getting there.
