1. The Triangle Book

   By John H. Conway

   With the advent of computer programs such as SketchPad, many high school students and amateur mathematicians are rediscovering interesting facts and theorems about triangles. The authors have created a nearly encyclopedoc collection of known and not so known aspects of the subject and present them...

2. The Symmetries of Things

   By John H. Conway, Heidi Burgiel, Chaim Goodman-Strauss

   Start with a single shape. Repeat it in some way—translation, reflection over a line, rotation around a point—and you have created symmetry. Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time....
