Mathematical Excursions to the World's Great Buildings Hardcover - 2012
by Alexander J. Hahn
From the rear cover
"The mathematical analysis of building structures is essential to the understanding of architecture. Yet most texts available are abstract and not specific to the importance of such study. At last, Alexander Hahn has provided a thorough and beautifully illustrated mathematical look at the world's greatest buildings that will remedy this void and provide a relevant and absorbing study for architects and others interested in the art of building. I particularly found the description of the amazing structural problem of the Sydney Opera House not only interesting but exciting."--John Burgee, fellow of the American Institute of Architects
"Readers who enjoy connecting mathematics to real-world applications will find this book intriguing, as will anyone who wants to learn more about the forces and mathematics behind the construction of the world's great buildings."--Michael Huber, author of Mythematics
"Clear and engaging, this terrific book contains interesting and authentic mathematical applications. Mathematical Excursions to the World's Great Buildings is a book you can curl up with and enjoy."--Marc Frantz, Indiana University
