{"product_id":"indras-pearls-the-vision-of-felix-klein-9781107564749","title":"Indra's Pearls: The Vision of Felix Klein","description":"Felix Klein, a great geometer of the nineteenth century, rediscovered an idea from Hindu mythology in mathematics: the heaven of Indra in which the whole Universe was mirrored in each pearl in a net of pearls. Practically impossible to represent by hand, this idea barely existed outside the imagination, until the 1980s when the authors embarked on the first computer investigation of Klein's vision. In this extraordinary book they explore the path from some basic mathematical ideas to the simple algorithms that create delicate fractal filigrees, most appearing in print for the first time. Step-by-step instructions for writing computer programs allow beginners to generate the images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2690108\"\u003eDavid Mumford\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-789800\"\u003eCaroline Series\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11791395\"\u003eDavid Wright\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.77h x 7.47w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107564749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107564743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MAT\"\u003eMathematics\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MAT038000\"\u003eTopology | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42688072810733,"sku":"9781107564749","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c35e0cef-7ec1-481d-9e3f-ae868346c832.jpg?v=1649785275","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/indras-pearls-the-vision-of-felix-klein-9781107564749","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
