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 ...

Can you chip in? As an independent nonprofit, the Internet Archive is fighting for universal access to quality information. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, ...

Greek geometry wasn’t just math—it was a bold attempt to decode the universe, and its logic still powers rockets, bridges, and every GPS route today. Credit: GreekReporter archive Geometry was never ...

The portly, balding sculptor-turned-architect must have drawn a few curious gazes as he set up a complicated painting apparatus in the corner of a Renaissance-era piazza. He planted his instrument, ...

A new paper gives fellow quantum physicists a tool to help explore the geometry of the universe. They say one qubit’s behavior, regardless of its starting position, forms a predictable geometric idea.

Susanna Heikkilä uses a knitted chessboard pattern and crocheted balls to illustrate the idea of quasiregular mappings, or how the plane curves to cover the form. Susanna Heikkilä solved a problem in ...

Euclidean geometry is the branch of mathematics describing shapes and the spatial relationships between objects in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) settings. The rules of Euclidean ...

Polina Vytnova has been previously supported by EPSRC. At the beginning of my third year at university studying mathematics, I spotted an announcement. A visiting professor from Canada would be giving ...
