This book provides an inquiry-based introduction to advanced Euclidean geometry. It utilizes dynamic geometry software, specifically GeoGebra, to explore the statements and proofs of many of the most ...

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 ...

Euclidean geometry is a mathematical well-known system attributed to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. It has been ...

The course presents a rigorous treatment of the foundations of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. The discovery of non-Euclidean geometry in the first half of the 19th century shattered the ...

Euclidean geometry is the branch of mathematics describing shapes and the spatial relationships between objects in ...

Geometry may be one of the oldest branches of mathematics, but it’s much more than a theoretical subject. It’s part of our everyday lives, says Professor Jennifer Taback, and key to understanding many ...

This originally appeared in the July/August issue of Discover magazine as "Your Hyperbolic Mind." Support our science journalism by becoming a subscriber. The human brain is both a marvel and a ...

Grid cells, space-mapping neurons of the entorhinal cortex of rodents, could also work for hyperbolic surfaces. A new study tests a model (a computer simulation) based on mathematical principles, that ...

IT is interesting to compare the attitudes of the two most recent writers in English who deal with Euclidean geometry. Sir Thomas Heath, in the second edition of his three-volume translation of the ...
