Meer over het boek

The exploration of geometry's historical and philosophical context reveals a revolution in understanding that parallels the Copernican and Darwinian shifts in their respective fields. Richard Trudeau delves into the implications of non-Euclidean geometry, challenging the nature of truth and the limits of mathematical models. Through this lens, he raises profound questions about the possibility of attaining absolute knowledge of the world, inviting readers to reconsider established perceptions of reality.
