Professor Rogers has written this economical and logical exposition of the theory of packing and covering at a time when the simplest general results are known and future progress seems likely to depend on detailed and complicated technical developments. The book treats mainly problems in n-dimensional space, where n is […]
This work shows how the concepts of manifold theory can be used to describe the physical world. The concepts of modern differential geometry are presented in this comprehensive study of classical mechanics, field theory, and simple quantum effects.

In this book Denis Weaire and Tomaso Aste recount the story of this problem and many others which have to do with packing things […]
