Every curricular area has a global dimension that can be taught in the classroom, including math. This is often the area that is most difficult for people to grasp as being global, but math helps us ...

Tony Robbin had started out as a painter. He created complex works filled with interwoven patterns and ambiguous figures to give the illusion of seeing more than one object in the same place at the ...

Mathematicians, freed in their imaginations from physical constraints, can conjure up descriptions of objects in many more dimensions than that. Points in a plane can be described with pairs of ...

Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists believe math shows the possibilities of a fourth dimension, but there’s no actual evidence—yet. Albert Einstein believed space ...

Over the past several years, much attention in the field of simplicial pivoting algorithms has been focused on the new class of variable-dimension algorithms, wherein the sequence of simplices ...

Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...
