It stimulates geometrical thought by applying the tools of linear algebra and the algebra of polynomials to a concrete geometrical situation to reveal some rather surprising insights into the geometry of \u003cem\u003en-gons\u003c\/em\u003e. The twelve chapters treat \u003cem\u003en-gons\u003c\/em\u003e, classes of n-gons, and mapping of the set of n-gons into itself. Exercises are included throughout, and two appendixes, by Henner Kinder and Eckart Schmidt, provide background material on lattices and cyclotomic polynomials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(Mathematical Expositions No. 18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52588883869976,"sku":"9781442651548","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/n-gons-paperback-softback-9781442651548","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
