Containing over 171 diagrams, the approach allows for a straightforward treatment of its subject area. It is particularly attractive for its wealth of applications and variety of interactions with branches of mathematics, linked with surface topology, graph theory, group theory, vector field theory, and plane Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntuitive ideas\u003cbr\u003e Plane models of surfaces\u003cbr\u003e Surfaces as plane diagrams\u003cbr\u003e Distinguishing surfaces\u003cbr\u003e Patterns on surfaces\u003cbr\u003e Maps and graphs\u003cbr\u003e Vector fields on surfaces\u003cbr\u003e Plane tessellation representations of compact surfaces\u003cbr\u003e Some applications of tessellation representations\u003cbr\u003e Introducing the fundamental group\u003cbr\u003e Surfaces with boundaries\u003cbr\u003e Topology, graphs and groups\u003cbr\u003e Tutorial solutions to exercises\u003cbr\u003e Further reading\u003cbr\u003e References and index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Topology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Topology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Topology%20%5BPBP%5D%22\"\u003ePBP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Woodhead Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651783446808,"sku":"9781898563778","price":56.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781898563778_363fe1d1-e246-4bd4-a484-147b42e654c6.jpg?v=1696598691","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/surface-topology-hardback-9781898563778","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
