If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Hardback. New. The Banach-Tarski Paradox is the most surprising result in mathematics. This new edition of a classic book offers a comprehensive, accessible presentation, with many related results, especially connections to non-Euclidean geometry, to squaring the circle, and even to some art by Escher. This material is suited to projects for undergraduates or masters students. ISBN 1107042593 9781107042599 [GB]

ISBN10: 1107042593, ISBN13: 9781107042599, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Banach-Tarski Paradox is a most striking mathematical construction: it asserts that a solid ball can be taken apart into finitely many pieces that can be rearranged using rigid motions to form a ball twice as large. This volume explores the consequences of the paradox for measure theory and its connections with group theory, geometry, set theory, and logic. This new edition of a classic book unifies contemporary research on the paradox. It has been updated with many new proofs and results, and discussions of the many problems that remain unsolved. Among the new results presented are several unusual paradoxes in the hyperbolic plane, one of which involves the shapes of Escher's famous 'Angel and Devils' woodcut. A new chapter is devoted to a complete proof of the remarkable result that the circle can be squared using set theory, a problem that had been open for over sixty years.
