Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In this profound and hopeful book, a mathematician and celebrated teacher shows how mathematics may help all of useven the math-averseto understand and cope with grief. We all know the euphoria of intellectual epiphanythe thrill of sudden understanding. But coupled with that excitement is a sense of loss: a moment of epiphany can never be repeated. In Geometry of Grief, mathematician Michael Frame draws on a careers worth of insightincluding his work with Benoit Mandelbrot on fractal geometryand a gift for rendering the complex accessible as he delves into this twinning of understanding and loss. Grief, Frame reveals, can be a moment of possibility. Frame investigates grief as a response to an irrevocable change in circumstance. This reframing allows us to see parallels between the loss of a loved one or a career and the loss of the elation of first understanding a tricky concept. From this foundation, Frame builds a geometric model of mental states. An object that is fractal, for example, has symmetry of magnification: magnify a picture of a mountain or a coastlineboth fractaland we see echoes of the original shape. Similarly, nested inside great loss are smaller losses. By manipulating this geometry, Frame shows us, we may be able to redirect our thinking in ways that help reduce our pain. Smallscale losses in essence provide laboratories to learn how to meet large-scale losses. Interweaving original illustrations, clear introductions to advanced topics in geometry, and wisdom gleaned from his own experience with illness and others remarkable responses to devastating loss, Frames poetic book is a journey through the beautiful complexities of mathematics and life. With both human sympathy and geometrical elegance, it helps us to see how a geometry of grief can open a pathway for bold action. In this profound and hopeful book, a mathematician and celebrated teacher shows how mathematics may help all of useven the math-averseto understand and cope with grief.
