In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation ...

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 ...

Blaise Pascal independently rediscovered classical geometry at the age of 12 despite a ban on formal maths studies. His early ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...

Usama has a passion for video games and a talent for capturing their magic in writing. He brings games to life with his words, and he's been fascinated by games for as long as he's had a joystick in ...

Can you imagine the imprint a four-dimensional hexagon might leave as it passes through your three-dimensional kitchen table? Probably not, but some people can. One such person was mathematician ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

A road bike frame is essentially three big tubes stuck together in a triangle, four thinner ones to support the rear wheel and a fork to hold the front wheel and allow it to turn. But it’s a lot more ...
