About Full Color Illustrations Of The Fourth
Product Description These full-color illustrations on 8"x10" pages are at once aesthetically captivating and instructive. Each page consists of colorful images of tesseracts (4D hypercubes) or glomes (4D hyperspheres) with a paragraph caption describing the figures at the bottom. Color is used effectively to show how to visualize the features of tesseracts and glomes, how to draw tesseracts in perspective, how a tesseract unfolds, how the features of tesseracts and glomes change as they rotate, how to find the intersection of a tesseract or glome with a hyperplane, how hyperspherical coordinates are defined, how to understand hypercompass directions, and how to draw longitudes, hyperlatitudes, and latitudes. Rectangular hyperboxes and a hyperellipsoid are also shown. Subsequent volumes of this series will build upon these fundamental 4D objects to help you imagine features of a 4D world such as a hyperchair, a hypercross, a hyperpyramid, a hyperhouse, crystal structures, and simple hypermachines. From the Author Visualize 4D Objects Every page has colorful illustrations of the fourth dimension. Volume 1 explores standard four-dimensional objects like hypercubes and hyperspheres. Volume 2 builds upon these foundations to show what it might look like to be a four-dimensional being living in a four-dimensional universe. Just imagine playing a game of hyperchess, trying to solve a Rubik's tesseract, opening a hyperdoor and walking into a hyperroom, playing hyperbilliards, or hyperbowling. Volume 2 attempts to show you what activities such as these would be like. Does the author have any other books on the fourth dimension? The Visual Guide to Extra Dimensions (Volumes 1-2) is much more detailed (but the illustrations are black-and-white). Volume 1 focuses on the geometry of a fourth dimension of space, while Volume 2 explores the physics of a possible fourth dimension. A Visual Introduction to the Fourth Dimension includes color illustrations. You may also be interested in The Four-Color Theorem and Basic Graph Theory. This introduction to the basic concepts of graph theory is highly visual and the concepts are explained in simple terms that anyone can understand. (Although graph theory is often taught as an advanced course in highly abstract terms, this book is unique in that the material is very accessible.) This book also contains many cool and unique ideas regarding the four-color theorem. About the Author Chris McMullen is a physics instructor at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He earned his Ph.D. in phenomenological high-energy physics (particle physics) from Oklahoma State University in 2002. Originally from California, he earned his Master's degree from California State University, Northridge, where his thesis was in the field of electron spin resonance. He has published several papers on the prospects for discovering large superstring-inspired extra dimensions at the Large Hadron Collider, which is his area of specialization. Dr. McMullen published The Visual Guide to Extra Dimensions, Volumes 1 and 2, to share his passion for the geometry and physics of the fourth dimension. He also wrote these books, Full-Color Illustrations of the Fourth Dimension, Volumes 1 and 2, to help illustrate the geometry of a fourth dimension of space. Dr. McMullen was fascinated with a fourth dimension of space when he first read Rudy Rucker’s introduction to the subject during high school. He happened to be working on his Ph.D. in particle physics when Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali wrote a famous technical paper motivating large superstring-inspired extra dimensions, which transformed the subject of the fourth dimension from philosophy to a plausibly experimental science. Dr. McMullen has published these general-audience books on the fourth dimension to share his passion for the math and physics of extra dimensions. One of his favorite sayings is: May your contemplation of a fourth dimension of
