John Sharp

The mathematics of surfaces is a fascinating subject - lying as it does at the heart of much architecture, art and maths, engineering and science.

John Sharp's innovative use of sliceforms (3D forms made from paper or wood slices) to explore the properties of surfaces is here produced in a systematic way, providing the reader the tools to build surfaces from paper to explore their mathematical properties.

The extensive commentary explains the mathematics behind particular surfaces - an invaluable exercise in practical geometry that will stimulate ideas for the student and the enthusiast.
