In this book, topics such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus and statistics are brought to life through over 500 applications ranging from biology, physics and chemistry to astronomy, geography and music.

With over 600 illustrations emphasizing the beauty of mathematics, Math Tools complements more theoretical textbooks on the market, bringing the subject closer to the reader and providing a useful reference to students. By highlighting the ubiquity of mathematics in practical fields, the book will appeal not only to students and teachers, but to anyone with a keen interest in mathematics and its applications.

Georg Glaeser received his PhD and habilitation in geometry from the Vienna University of Technology. Since 1998, he has been full professor of geometry at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. He is a passionate natural photographer and the author and coauthor of more than a dozen books on geometry, mathematics, computational geometry, computer graphics, photography, and several books about evolution.
