Summary
Lobachevski Illuminated provides an historical introduction to non-Euclidean geometry. Within its pages, readers will be guided step-by-step through a new translation of Lobachevski's groundbreaking book, The Theory of Parallels. Extensive commentary situates Lobachevski#x92;s work in its mathematical, historical, and philosophical context, thus granting readers a vision of the mysterious and beautiful world of non-Euclidean geometry as seen through the eyes of one of its discoverers. Although Lobachevski#x92;s 170-year old text is challenging to read on its own, Seth Braver#x92;s carefully arranged 'illuminations' render this classic accessible to any modern reader (student, professional, or layman) undaunted by high school mathematics.
