  • Book Description

    The German mathematician Felix Klein discovered in 1879 that the surface that we now call the Klein quartic has many remarkable properties. Since then, mathematicians have discovered that the same object comes up in different guises in many areas of mathematics, from complex analysis and geometry to number theory.This volume explores the rich tangle of properties and theories surrounding this multiform object. It includes expository and research articles by renowned mathematicians in different fields and a beautifully illustrated essay by the mathematical sculptor Helaman Ferguson. The book closes with the first English translation of Klein's seminal article on this surface.
