Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones ...

A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...

Circles, triangles and squares. One of the first things we learn as children are basic geometric shapes. And they stay with us throughout our lives. Maybe it’s that sense of familiarity that makes ...

Margaret Wertheim gave a talk for the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute at their 2016 annual Summer School. We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the ...

BOTHELL — One person’s idle doodling is another’s mathematical breakthrough. Two mathematics professors and one of their former students at the University of Washington at Bothell have made a ...

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 ...

Each week, Mansion Global tackles a topic with an elite group of designers from around the world who work on luxury properties. This week we look at how to use geometric shapes in your home’s decor.
