My math history class is currently studying non-Euclidean geometry, which means we've studied quite a few "proofs" of Euclid's fifth postulate, also known as the parallel postulate. If you're enjoying ...

In 1847, an eccentric British mathematician named Oliver Byrne released a new edition of Euclid’s famous mathematical treatise, The Elements of Geometry. Byrne added a rather longwinded but ultimately ...

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 ...

“Euclid: The Game” is, as its name suggests, a game inspired by the constructive principles of Euclidean Geometry. It is also, as its name might not suggest, highly addictive, even for non-mathy types ...

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 ...

Did you know that every time you look at a skyscraper, a bridge, or even the screen in your hand, you are seeing the power of shapes and measurements in action? This is the world of geometry. At its ...

It is often said that the most influential book in the history of Western thought is Euclid’s mathematical treatise “Elements.” The work of a Greek mathematician living in Alexandria around the year ...

As its subtitle suggests, Euclid's Window aims to take the general reader from elementary ideas of euclidean geometry to Einstein's theory of general relativity and beyond, in this case to the theory ...
