Synopsis

Explore geometry through paper folding and discover clear, hands-on methods that make ideas come alive for students and teachers alike.

This edition presents a practical approach to plane geometry using simple paper folding with colored squares. It emphasizes visual, self-checking work and uses half-tone reproductions to show the results of folding, not just drawings. Editors W. W. Beman and D. E. Smith update proofs and add references, while keeping the focus on accessible, classroom-friendly activities.

- Learn how to fold a square into equal right-angled triangles and other shapes without instruments
- See how folding reveals concepts like symmetry, congruence, and geometric constructions
- Explore chapters on regular polygons, conic sections, and accompanying curves with concrete, visual demonstrations
- Understand how paper-folding can illustrate algebraic and geometric ideas in a tangible way

Ideal for readers who teach geometry from grade school to college, or anyone looking for a tactile way to study shapes and relationships. This edition aims to make geometry inviting and explorative for learners at multiple levels.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from T. Sundara Row's Geometric Exercises in Paper Folding

Our attention was first attracted to Sundara Row's Geometrical Exercises in Paper Folding by a reference in Klein's Vorlesungen über ausgewählte Fragen der Elementargeometrie. An examination of the book, obtained after many vexatious delays, convinced us of its undoubted merits and of its probable value to American teachers and students of geometry. Accordingly we sought permission of the author to bring out an edition in this country, which permission was most generously granted.

The purpose of the book is so fully set forth in the author's introduction that we need only to say that it is sure to prove of interest to every wide-awake teacher of geometry from the graded school to the college. The methods are so novel and the results so easily reached that they cannot fail to awaken enthusiasm.

Our work as editors in this revision has been confined to some slight modifications of the proofs, some additions in the way of references, and the insertion of a considerable number of half-tone reproductions of actual photographs instead of the line-drawings of the original.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
