This work investigates ways of picturing and understanding dimensions below and above our own. What would a two-dimensional universe be like? How can we even attempt to picture objects of four, five or six dimensions? Such are the questions examined in this text.
Table of Contents
- Introducing dimensions
- scaling and measurement
- slicing and contours
- shadows and structures
- regular polytopes and fold-outs
- perspective and animation
- configuration spaces
- coordinate geometry
- non-Euclidean geometry and nonorientable surfaces.
