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, ...

In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...

Everyone learns the number one rule about triangles in high school: the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. But did you know that sometimes they don't? Triangles are much more interesting than ...

One hypothesis about the shape of the universe is that the universe is in the space of Euclidean geometry and flat. In Euclidean geometry, it is assumed that straight lines extend everywhere, planes ...

The earliest known evidence for the Pythagorean Theorem comes from an ancient clay tablet called, “IM 67118.” This tablet ...

IN a recent number of NATURE (June 30) there appeared a review of a book by G. Mannoury on the philosophy of mathematics, and the reviewer emphasised a statement of the author to the effect that the ...

There's a simple way to learn geometry over the summer. It is easy and fun. Imagine Euclidean geometry: the video game. If your experience in high school geometry was anything like mine, it probably ...

Do you think there’s a triangle whose angles measure 41, 76 and 63 degrees? At first, answering this may seem easy. From geometry class we know that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a ...

Geometry boasts a rich and captivating history within the realm of mathematics. In its early development, it was deeply rooted in practical observation used to describe essential concepts such as ...
