Description
Unlock the mysteries of higher-dimensional space with The Fourth Dimension Simply Explained by Henry P. Manning, a groundbreaking 1910 publication that offers one of the earliest and most accessible explanations of the fourth dimension. This rare first edition is a prized collectible for mathematicians, philosophers, and those fascinated by non-Euclidean geometry and spatial theory.
Originally compiled from 22 essays submitted to a Scientific American competition, this book distills complex mathematical theories into understandable concepts without heavy technical jargon. Manning and other contributors explore the concept of higher dimensions, drawing analogies from two- and three-dimensional spaces to help readers visualize the seemingly impossible realm of four-dimensional space.
Topics covered include:
✔️ The nature of the fourth dimension and its implications in mathematics and physics
✔️ Non-Euclidean geometry and its relationship to dimensional theory
✔️ Analogies between different spatial dimensions for intuitive comprehension
✔️ Mathematical reasoning behind four-dimensional spaces
Whether you’re a scholar of theoretical mathematics, a collector of rare scientific literature, or simply intrigued by the intersection of mathematics and philosophy, this volume serves as an essential resource. First editions of this work are highly sought after and rarely surface in such well-preserved condition.
