5.0 out of 5 stars This should a compulsory purchase for all school libraries, 28 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This is a masterpiece, a jewel. The authors have taken the subject of mathematical models and treated them more comprehensively and approachably than anything else on the subject I have seen. The book is dated in the sense that it is wordy rather than visual and the pictures do not display the benefits of modern graphical representation, but the content cannot be faulted. I started with making the geometrical solids with a group of 14 year olds but soon got interested in the section on mechanical models. I found the instructions and advice easy to follow and to the point. A mathematician's playground and a mathematics teacher's dream!

5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless classic!, 10 Jun 2008
Oh the memories that this book brings back! From time to time at my school we had maths exhibitions for which each person in the class made a mathematical model. Almost all of them were based on plans and diagrams in this book. (Alas my masterpiece prismated rhombic dodecahedron got a bit mangled on its way to school :-(

I've never made a mathematical model since but I've often dipped in to this book for sheer pleasure. Making the models described in this book is a far better introduction to geometry than anything else I've seen.
