But now, two mathematician friends have used their quarantine time to crack a variation of the age-old geometry problem. They analyzed a set of loopy shapes called smooth, continuous curves to prove ...

The computer scientist Erik Demaine and his artist and computer scientist father, Martin Demaine, have been pushing the limits of paper folding for years. Their intricate origami sculptures are part ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

In 1986, after the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds into its flight, the eminent physicist Richard Feynman was called in to find out what had gone wrong. He later demonstrated that the ...

This video shows how to solve algebra problems using geometry, offering a visual approach that makes abstract equations easier to understand. By translating algebra into shapes and spatial ...

An array of fundamental and unanswered questions in mathematics lie at the intersection of geometry and topology. With a 60 million kroner grant from the Danish National Research Foundation to ...
