Polyhedra and Geodesic Structures in the Classroom

Polyhedra and Geodesic Structures, an innovative textbook which applies spherical trigonometry to the study of polyhedra and geodesics, has been used in various forms in the classroom since Spring 1995.

A strong emphasis on hands-on construction appeals to students at all levels. Below are pictures from a few classes showing in-class work (at Quincy High School), or end-of-the-semester projects (Quincy University).

Stay tuned for updates, as Polyhedra and Geodesics will be taught at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in the Spring 2009 semester!
