When Alfred University Associate Math Professor Amanda Lipnicki took up knitting as an undergraduate student, she didnt immediately recognize how mathematics and geometry underlay the patterns of ...

All human beings may have the ability to understand elementary geometry, independently of their culture or their level of education. In a spherical universe, researchers found that Amazonian Indians ...

In the vast world of geometry and art, there are figures that challenge our perception and understanding of space. One of these figures is the Penrose Triangle, also known as the Tribar. This object, ...

Bernhard Riemann was a man with a hypothesis. He was confident that it was true, probably. But he didn’t prove it. And attempts over the last century and a half by others to prove it have failed. A ...

Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Usually, we think of spacetime as being four-dimensional, with three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. However, this Euclidean perspective is just one of many possible ...
