Book Reviews of Regular Polytopes (Dover Books on Mathematics)
Book Review: Takes up where Sommerville left off
Summary: 4 Stars
An Introduction to the Geometry of N Dimensions which I have used well over the years seems be a good book to go with this one.
It may takes me years to get the worth of this book,
but I have already the first yield.
The combination of group theory with higher dimensions
in combinatorial topological terms has been a 20th century gold mine
of new ideas and new groups.
That some of the results have seeded the Engineering
mathematics of error correcting codes should be noted.
That Cosmology has recently been using both Coxeter and Cartan to
see back toward the beginning of time shows that physics hasn't been blind to geometry.
