The innovative use of sliceforms to explore the properties of surfaces is produced in a systematic way, providing the tools to build surfaces from paper to explore their mathematics.
The extensive commentary explains the mathematics behind particular surfaces: an exercise in practical geometry that will stimulate ideas for the student and the enthusiast, as well as having practical applications in engineering and architecture.
About author(s): John Sharp was a British author and populariser of the Sliceform, in the Tarquin title of the same name.
His wide knowledge and practical solutions to problems of shape also lead to the book D-Forms, on developable surfaces, also by Tarquin.
