The simple yet versatile triangle allows us to record music, map the world, launch rockets into space, and be slightly less bad at pool. Triangles underpin our day-to-day lives and civilization as we know it. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eLove Triangle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Matt Parker argues we should all show a lot more love for triangles, along with all the useful trigonometry and geometry they enable. To prove his point, he uses triangles to create his own digital avatar, survive a harrowing motorcycle ride, cut a sandwich, fall in love, measure tall buildings in a few awkward bounds, and make some unusual art. Along the way, he tells extraordinary and entertaining stories of the mathematicians, engineers, and philosophers‚Äîstarting with Pythagoras‚Äîwho dared to take triangles seriously.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This is the guide you should have had in high school‚Äîa lively and definitive answer to ‚ÄúWhy do I need to learn about trigonometry?‚Äù Parker reveals triangles as the hidden pattern beneath the surface of the contemporary world. Like love, triangles actually are all around. And in the air. And they‚Äôre all you need.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" style=\"opacity: 1; display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content-fade\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"javascript:void(0)\" role=\"button\" data-action=\"a-expander-toggle\" class=\"a-declarative\" data-a-expander-toggle='{\"allowLinkDefault\":true, \"expand_prompt\":\"Read more\", \"collapse_prompt\":\"Read less\"}'\u003e\u003ci class=\"a-icon a-icon-extender-expand\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003eRead more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50395533345053,"sku":"9780593418116","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/5692\/5213\/files\/9780593418116.jpg?v=1758822180","url":"https:\/\/bookdelico.com\/products\/love-triangle-how-trigonometry-shapes-the-world","provider":"Book Delico ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
