Explore the fascinating world of outer billiards with ‘The Plaid Model: (AMS-198)’ by Richard Schwartz. This sequel to ‘Outer Billiards on Kites’ introduces a unique combinatorial model for planetary motion, revealing intricate dynamics in simple systems. Discover how orbits of outer billiards on kites relate to polytope exchange transformations, renormalization, continued fractions, and more. ‘The Plaid Model’ masterfully blends geometry and number theory, presenting a self-similar structure born from computer experimentation. Ideal for mathematicians and enthusiasts, this book includes an interactive computer program and demonstrations for each theorem, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. Perfect for anyone interested in dynamical systems and cutting-edge mathematical research at The Bookish Owl.
