A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jain 108 of Australia has distilled the last 30 years of his research towards the re-introduction of Sacred Geometry back into the public school curriculum. 100 years ago, topics like the 5 Platonic Solids, the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Mean Spiral were highlights of a national curriculum handed down to us for over 2,000 years since the Greek empire. To our detriment, heads of government made the decision, 100 years ago, to remove this legacy from the national curriculum. Since then, students world-wide have shut down from learning mathematics due to its current dry, factory-style content. Jain Mathemagics is merely putting back into the curriculum that which was already there! 2,500 years ago, Pythagoras, who lived contemporary to Buddha, surmised that all atomic structure was based on 5 humble and unique shapes, in the way they nested, one within the other, like Russian Dolls. In fact, Buddha has been recorded, during one of his deep meditations, as describing the atom as 8-sided, known then as "Acta Kalapas" meaning "8 Atoms" which fits in nicely with the 8 corners of the Cube. There are only 5 possible shapes in the universe of creation that Pythagoras defined as being a Platonic Solid. They had to obey the following 3 conditions: 1 - The shape must fit inside of a sphere, ie: all vertices touch the sphere ie: all the corners or vertices are touching the inside of the sphere. 2 - The shape must have all its faces or polygons the same (eg, triangles or squares or pentagons or hexagons etc) thus all their angles are the same. 3 - The shape must have every edge length being the same. The 5 shapes are: 1 - Tetrahedron (4 triangles, 6 vertices, 6 edges) 2 - Cube (6 squares, 8 vertices, 12 edges) 3 - Octahedron (8 Triangles, 6 vertices, 12 edges) 4 - Icosahedron (20 triangles, 30 vertices, 20 edges 5 - Dodecahedron (12 Pentagons, 20 vertices, 30 edges) These 5 Platonic Solids exist also in the biological world. They exist as single celled planktons called Radiolaria, which when dying leave an exo-skeleton in these precise shapes. Other topics included in this workbook which covers a 9 week Course, are: - Fibonacci Sequence (1-1-2-3-5-8-13) and the Phi Spiral - The Living Mathematics Of Nature - Cuboctahedron - (1 of 13 Archimedean Solids: Signature = 3-4-3-4) (Archimedean Solids have a mixture of polygon faces, but still exist in the sphere) - Truncated Icosahedron (Soccer Ball) - (Archimedean Solid: Signature = 5-6-6) - Rhombic Dodecahedron - (12 Diamonds Polyhedron - Catalan Solid: Dual of the Cuboctahedron)
