Synopsis

At the dawn of the 19th century, geometry took an exhilarating leap into dimensions beyond our familiar three with the arrival of four-dimensional geometry. Early references to this concept, dating back to ancient Greek philosophers, were largely speculative, but by the 1800s mathematicians began seriously exploring and defining its principles. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the fascinating realm of four-dimensional geometry. With meticulous explanations, the author guides readers through the foundations of this subject, starting with points and lines before tackling more complex concepts such as hyperplanes and polyhedra. Along the way, the reader grasps the nuances of perpendicularity, angles, and symmetry in four dimensions. This book not only provides a comprehensive understanding of four-dimensional geometry but also serves as a valuable tool for exploring higher-dimensional spaces, opening up new vistas for mathematical exploration.
