It was 1976—twentyfive years after R. Buckminster Fuller introduced geodesic domes when literary critic Hugh Kenner published this fullyillustrated practical manual for their construction. Now, some twentyfive years later, Geodesic Math and How to Use It again presents a systematic method of design and provides a stepbystep method for producing mathematical specifications for orthodox geodesic domes, as well as for a variety of elliptical, superelliptical, and other nonspherical contours. Out of print since 1990, Geodesic Math and How To Use It is California's most requested backlist title. This edition is fully illustrated with complete original appendices.
