Euclidean geometry is the kind you were taught at school, the world of sines and cosines, and the square on the hypotenuse ...

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 ...

Mathematicians often comment on the beauty of their chosen discipline. For the non-mathematicians among us, that can be hard to visualise. But in Prof Caroline Series’s field of hyperbolic geometry, ...

In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry, meaning that the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry is rejected. The parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry states, for two ...

Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...

This originally appeared in the July/August issue of Discover magazine as "Your Hyperbolic Mind." Support our science journalism by becoming a subscriber. The human brain is both a marvel and a ...

Sokoban a', since to that obtained a completely different gaming experience by the spherical stage 'hyperbolic number' appeared, I tried actually playing. The top page of hyperbolic geometry looks ...

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 ...
