The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. This is one of the basic principles of Euclidean geometry. But we live on a spherical Earth, so we cannot travel the straight line path ...

All human beings may have the ability to understand elementary geometry, independently of their culture or their level of education. In a spherical universe, researchers found that Amazonian Indians ...

Geometry may be one of the oldest branches of mathematics, but it’s much more than a theoretical subject. It’s part of our everyday lives, says Professor Jennifer Taback, and key to understanding many ...

Euclidean geometry is the branch of mathematics describing shapes and the spatial relationships between objects in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) settings. The rules of Euclidean ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. A dialogue on how questioning a 2,000-year-old truth gave birth to a new geometry that reshaped mathematics and our ...
