Esta es una de esas historias originales, entretenidas y con mas dimensiones de las que parece a simple vista (jojojo).Con los años que tiene, se sigue sintiendo fresca y encantadora.
This was one crazy, opium fuelled, brilliant book about geometry and different dimensions and I am going to explain it the best way I can but Edwin A Abbott does it so much better.Here is a story of Square who is a square and lives in a two dimensional world of geometrical figures. The first part of...
At the outset... the 5 stars are entirely subjective. I love maths, I love playing mathematical games, I love philosophising about maths. So this book is perfect for me. But if maths is not your cup of tea, you may not enjoy it as much as I did.I first read about this book in one of Martin Gardne...
I enjoyed this. The way it's set up is quite interesting - as a commentary on Victorian society, as a visit by a square to different dimensions, as a personal journey rather than a straight science book. I appreciated the notes and commentary. It's fairly straightforward and easy to understand, y...

The concept of a two-dimensional world, and an inhabitant trying to get to grips with the idea of three dimensions, is a brilliant one, and much of the book rather elegantly takes a side swipe at Victorian cu...

But it's when you apply Flatland's logic to our world that you really reap the benefits.What's perhaps most interesting is the ethics of Pointland, Lineland and Flatland and their differing opin...
A friend of mine introduced me to Flatland through the movie, I watched a bit of it and was instantly intrigued.The first half of the book describes the world of Flatland, from the rigid hierarchy of their society to the weather. Abbott creates a fictional world that brilliantly satires the society ...
More than just an amusing read for anyone interested in math, geometry and physics, this somewhat dry but ultimately funny book is an exploration of the limits of reason, perception, and knowledge, along with social commentary on how such things can shape a society. It explains the math and science ...
