Experiencing Geometry, Physics, and Biology

About this book

Geometrie, Physik und Biologie verstehen

Das vorliegende Buch ist ein lehrreiches und reich bebildertes Sachbuch, das naturwissenschaftliche Inhalte auf anschauliche und verständliche Weise vermittelt. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele erläutert es Themen aus Geometrie, Physik und Biologie und zeigt Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den Disziplinen auf. Das Buch enthält rund 300 Links zu Videoanimationen; weiters steht eine frei zugängliche interaktive Software zur Verfügung, zur weiteren Vertiefung der Inhalte.

Die Inhalte des Buches, die Videos und die Software wurden am Institut für Geometrie an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien entwickelt: Georg Glaeser forscht insbesondere zu interdisziplinären mathematischen und biologischen Fragestellungen und arbeitete viele Jahre gemeinsam mit Franz Gruber, einem Meister im Visualisieren komplexer Sachverhalte.

  • Enthält Links zu rund 300 Videoanimationen, abrufbar über QR-Codes
  • Kompakte, informative und leicht verständliche Erklärungen zu naturwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen aus den Bereichen Geometrie, Physik und Biologie
  • Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen und Illustrationen
