About this title

Synopsis

The innovative use of sliceforms to explore the properties of surfaces is produced in a systematic way, providing the tools to build surfaces from paper to explore their mathematics. The extensive commentary explains the mathematics behind particular surfaces: an exercise in practical geometry that will stimulate ideas for the student and the enthusiast, as well as having practical applications in engineering and architecture.
