{"product_id":"9781634871877","title":"Trigonometry, Geometry, and the Conception of Space","description":"\"\u003ci\u003eTrigonometry, Geometry, and the Conception of Space\u003c\/i\u003e is primarily a textbook for students of architecture, design, or any other subject that requires a strong, practical understanding of measurement. Topics that are traditionally included for future calculus students have been replaced with a study of three-dimensional space and geometry.\u003cp\u003eThe first portion of the book focuses on pure trigonometry: sets and numbers, the six trigonometric functions and their inverses, and applications. The second portion covers more geometric topics like cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems, conic sections, and quadric surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material emphasizes alternative ways to describe points in space and how to transfer between them. Written for highly visual courses exploring three-dimensional space and the objects that lie within it, \u003ci\u003eTrigonometry, Geometry, and the Conception of Space\u003c\/i\u003e offers fresh, modern instruction for classes in architecture, graphic design, and mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Tokorcheck\u003c\/b\u003e earned his Ph.D. in mathematics at UC Santa Cruz, with research interests in group representations, number theory, and Lie theory. He is now a lecturer with the Department of Mathematics at Iowa State University. Apart from mathematics, Dr. Tokorcheck’s life journey has taken him through a variety of jobs, from cooking in award-winning kitchens of California, to teaching high school in northern Ghana, to resettling refugees from the civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cognella Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037240410352,"sku":"9781634871877","price":98.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781634871877_p0.jpg?v=1763681857","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781634871877","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
