To illustrate the Pythagorean Theorem, makers of geometric models have long made models with pieces that could be arranged either as a square with a side equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a ...

Known as the father of descriptive geometry, Gaspard Monge (1746-1818) was born in Beaune, Burgundy in France. Attending college at an early age, Monge showed mathematical talent early on. He drew a ...

THE models are six in number. They are intended to show a line (1) by its projections, (2) by its traces; the inclination of an oblique plane (3) to the vertical plane, (4) to the horizontal plane; ...

Geometric objects take on different properties depending on the space in which you visualize them. Using techniques from an upstart field called tropical geometry — which analyzes complicated shapes ...

Researchers have developed an efficient new way to quickly analyze complex geometric models by borrowing a computational approach that has made photorealistic animated films possible. Researchers at ...
