Geometry Of The Universe.

The Geometry of the Universe

This new book is to be published in July 2021.

I have created this little project as a place for a virtual guide to the book, as I work my way through it.

Install

git clone https://github.com/swfiua/gotu

python3 setup.py install --user

You may need blume from github too::

git clone https://github.com/swfiua/blume

cd gotu

python3 setup.py install --user

Running modules

Many modules can be run from the command line, often using argparse to parse options:

python3 -m gotu.spiral --sky

python3 -m gotu.gaia -h

Most of these use blume to provide a console and matplotlib plotting environment.

It is a strange console where single character commands can have interesting consequences.

To start the show, type:

magic.show()

This will pop up a magplotlib figure.

Type 'h' to see what does what.

Good luck on your adventure.
