What are some books that talk about higher dimensional geometry? Like in depth mathematics surrounding multiple dimentions

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 15 03:23:54 2015 No.6828739 Any book on calculus on manifolds, differential geometry, topology, functional analysis, algebraic geometry/topology, etc. If you want to learn mathematics do it properly.

This. If you don't learn mathematics / physics and you start talking about "higher dimensions", or - even worse - string theory or relativity, you'll look like a fool. Anyone who does that is instantly disqualified in my eyes. Know your stuff before you talk about it.

There is exactly one sentence in flatland of interest about geometry, and that is (paraphrased)
>an n-dimensional object will appear as its (n-1)-dimensional cut in an (n-1)-dimensional world.

The rest is badly written sort-of-satire and religious allegory of 19th century england.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 15 03:59:44 2015 No.6828809 >>6828805 So just take calc at uni and go from there? Is there anything worthwhile I'd be able to read before?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 15 04:08:54 2015 No.6828831 >>6828809 Well you can read those books. I don't really know about English/American textbooks, but /sci/ usually has recommendations in the sticky and stuff.
