Florida's design scene is experiencing an exciting transformation as bold, geometric patterns take center stage in homes ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Here’s a fun demonstration from Cornell maths professor Steven Strogatz. Take a clementine (or any spherical, peelable fruit) and trace around its widest part four times. Then peel it. Flatten out the ...

The Geometric Period in Greece, which lasted from approximately 900 to 700 B.C.E., is named after the geometric patterns and motifs that were prevalent on pottery at this time. Scholars subdivide the ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...

After Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity in 1905, he spent the next decade trying to come up with a theory of gravity. But for years, he kept running up against a problem. He ...
