Electric Book is pleased to announce seven new chapters in its Origins By Geometry title.
The latest chapters in the section ‘Math in the Sky’, cover the basic evolution of the chord function and its role in helping ancient astronomers better understand planetary objects (and to design better sundials).
These latest chapters illustrate the importance played by the circle, angles, and chords in measuring movement of objects across an arc of travel. While not exhaustive in its coverage of the topic of Geometry, the Origins title endeavors to educate and inspire learners of all ages to see how a few mathematical propositions can fuel innovative views of our world that eventually led to modern astronomy.
As is the case with all chapters, the ‘Math in the Sky’ section combines Scalable Vector Graphics with advanced Javascript to provide an innovative reading experience based on the company’s adjacent content display model, an approach designed to maximize the value of illustration rich content.
