Dubrovsky, Vladimir – Quantum, 1992
Discusses flexible polyhedrons, called flexors, that can be bent so that the faces stay rigid while the angles between them seem to change. Presents models representing flexors and directions on how examples can be constructed. (MDH)

Shubin, Mikhail – Quantum, 1992
Presents a proof of Euler's Theorem on polyhedra by relating the theorem to the field of modern topology, specifically to the topology of relief maps. An analogous theorem involving the features of mountain summits, basins, and passes on a terrain is proved and related to the faces, vertices, and edges on a convex polyhedron. (MDH)

Schoenfeld, Alan H.; And Others – 1980
One module is presented in units 203, 204, and 205, as a guide for students, and presents a general strategy for solving integrals effectively. With this material is a solutions manual to exercises. This document set also includes a unit featuring applications of calculus to geography: 206-Mercator's World Map and the Calculus. Unit 207-Management…
