In our world of three-dimensional space, how can we even attempt to visualize an object of four, five or six dimensions? Thomas Banchoff shows us how with his insightful text, renowned computer graphics, and superb illustrations that help us visualize dimensions higher than our own. Beyond the Third Dimension expands our visual boundaries as we learn how a dimension can represent energy, temperature and numerous other variables, including time. We will see how the concept of dimensions plays a significant, perhaps unexpected role in fields as diverse as medicine and modern art, and also in our everyday lives.
