Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...

Marjorie Rice, a homemaker from San Diego, solved a decades-old geometry problem in 1975. Her discovery of new pentagon ...

CAD, or computer-aided design, has transformed design in many fields, allowing simulation and numerical data modeling in industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, product design and ...

Why is this unit important? This unit will introduce some important ideas in modern geometry and discrete mathematics. Geometry is an active area in mathematics research, and this unit will introduce ...

A central question in geometric measure theory is whether geometric properties of a set translate into analytical ones. In 1960, E. R. Reifenberg proved that if a closed subset M of ℝn+k is well ...
