Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

Remember the graph paper you used at school, the kind that’s covered with tiny squares? It’s the perfect illustration of what mathematicians call a “periodic tiling of space”, with shapes covering an ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" by demonstrating how to sketch angles in standard form. This "math tutorial" ...

A square has four right angles (90°). Each diagonal splits a corner into two angles of 45°. Note also that the diagonals cut each other in half at right angles. A rectangle has four right angles. The ...

Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I’ve written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I ...

Henry Segerman and Saul Schleimer paint beautiful shadows based on the maths of stereographic projection, a method originally used by cartographers to map the Earth Like a Halloween pumpkin, the ...
