August Ferdinand Mius (1790-1868) was his doctoral student whose work was profoundly influenced by him. In the 18th century, it had been mostly the French school of applied mathematics that enabled the rapid developments of science and technology in Europe. How could this shift happen? It can be argued that the major reasons were the devastating consequences of the Napoleonic Wars in Central Europe, leading to the total defeat of Prussia in 1806. Immediately following, far-reaching reforms of the entire state system were carried out in Prussia and other German states, also affecting the educational system. It now guaranteed freedom of university teaching and research. This attracted many creative people with new ideas enabling the \"golden age\" of pure mathematics and fundamental theory in physical sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMius' legacy reaches far into today's sciences, arts, and architecture. The famous one-sided Mius strip is a paradigmatic example of the ongoing fascination with mathematical topology. This is the first book to present numerous detailed case studies on Mius topology in science and the humanities. It is written for those who believe in the power of ideas in our culture, experts and laymen alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaus Mius, Martin Plato, Anton Savitsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 981496820X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814968201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Stanford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.88d","brand":"Klaus Mius","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059075707135,"sku":"9789814968201","price":249.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49ca8059-baa1-4dea-b606-1243df5b0de6.jpg?v=1685056093","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mbius-strip-topology-klaus-mbius-9789814968201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
