    HOW THIS PRODUCT CAN WORK FOR YOU
     
    For a restful night's sleep, there are several phases you go through. With each phase our sleep gets deeper, our body becomes more relaxed, and our brain wave patterns slow down. We experience our deepest sleep phase when our brain enters the delta wave state. Delta sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates and rebalances itself for the new day.
     
    Getting enough sleep is therefore essential for a healthy, productive life. This mindMAGIXX sleep program has been proven to increase delta wave activity in your brain. The program has already helped many people to find regular, restful, and revitalizing sleep.
     
    Listen to one of the soundscapes whenever you want to go to sleep. mindMAGIXX is a pioneer in the field of audio-acoustic research. Numerous companies, health professionals, meditation groups, and individuals swear by their audio programs and their spectacular soundscapes that stimulate our brain waves and put them into a state of deep relaxation.

    The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof—deductive reasoning from a set of axioms—first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles. Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.
