by John Wilkins (Author)

Mathematical Magic Or The Wonders that May Be Performed by Mechanical Geometry is a book written by John Wilkins. The book explores the fascinating world of mechanical geometry and the wonders that can be achieved through the application of mathematical principles. The author explains how simple geometric shapes can be combined and transformed to create complex and beautiful designs, and how these designs can be used to create intricate mechanical devices. The book is filled with detailed illustrations and diagrams that help readers understand the concepts and techniques involved in mechanical geometry. The author also provides step-by-step instructions for constructing several mechanical devices, including a clock, a perpetual motion machine, and a mechanical bird. Mathematical Magic Or The Wonders that May Be Performed by Mechanical Geometry is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of mathematics and engineering, and for those who are fascinated by the beauty and complexity of mechanical devices.1691.
