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 ...

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 a mathematical well-known system attributed to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. It has been ...

Another crop circle has appeared in the English countryside — and this one's clearly been made by someone, or something, that understands math. At first glance, the strange ratcheted pattern, ...

We’ve all learned “parallel lines never intersect” in high school geometry. But what your teachers failed to explain is that “parallel lines never intersect” is only true in Euclidean geometry, which ...

Everyone learns the number one rule about triangles in high school: the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. But did you know that sometimes they don't? Triangles are much more interesting than ...

in the diagram TR R is a diameter p r KT is a cyclic quad they talk about the chords and then they tell us that PK which is this entire length is the same as TK they have the same length and you can ...

“Euclid: The Game” is, as its name suggests, a game inspired by the constructive principles of Euclidean Geometry. It is also, as its name might not suggest, highly addictive, even for non-mathy types ...
