About this listen
The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof—deductive reasoning from a set of axioms—first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics.
This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles. Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.

not easy to follow
although the content is of interest my issue is that this book relates to visuals/diagrams which aren't attached as a separate pdf making this audible book rather pointless to listen to. this is not a good book to listen to. the narration is OK but hilariously confusing to the point of pointlessness

Useless without the PDF
The drawings are absolutely essential to understanding anything from this book yet there is no downloadable PDF of figures available for it.
