2 Customer Reviews of “Exploring the Shape of Space”
Jyoti Thyagarajan wrote on January 19, 2010
Jeff Weeks’ Shape of Space is a marvelous way of engaging students in the real scene of space and its possible shape. It opens up the possibilities of dimensions in a very real way. I have never used these thoughts without getting bright eyes and excitement into my students.
Can I describe the material in this book any more clearly? No, suffice it to say that it is a book that I have bought three times over for each of the schools I have worked with.
Rating: 5 / 5

I recommend working through this book before you attempt to read Weeks’ SHAPES OF SPACE. These activities are intended for middle school but I reckon they could easily be used in a college level Liberal Arts Math Course and plot on trying them out. The book comes with a cd-rom containing a nice video that will help you visualize the three dimensional manifolds Weeks discusses. All in all a fantastic resource.
