  • "Golden" Non-euclidean Geometry, The: Hilbert's Fourth Problem, "Golden" Dynamical Systems, And The Fine-structure Constant

    Series Book 7 - Series On Analysis, Applications And Computation
    This unique book overturns our ideas about non-Euclidean geometry and the fine-structure constant, and attempts to solve long-standing mathematical problems. It describes a general theory of 'recursive' hyperbolic functions based on the 'Mathematics of Harmony,' and the 'golden,' 'silver,' and other 'metallic' proportions. Then, these theories are used to derive an original solution to Hilbert's ... Read more
