Scientists have uncovered a hidden mathematical secret inside the leaves of the Chinese money plant: a naturally occurring geometric pattern known as a Voronoi diagram, something typically associated ...

First let’s start with a very obvious question our students are going to have… What is geometry? Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and a branch of mathematics. It focuses on shapes and their ...

Figure skating has become a sport that awards athletes for achieving speed, spins and jumps – and the ability to land with grace on a steel blade 4 mm (0.16-inch) wide on a notoriously slippery ...

Antarctic fish have built a sprawling neighborhood of neatly arranged nests in the Weddell Sea — a surprising display of organization in some of the coldest waters on Earth. The discovery suggests ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of recent work by the ...

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 ...
