Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" by demonstrating how to sketch angles in standard form. This "math tutorial" ...

Remember the graph paper you used at school, the kind that’s covered with tiny squares? It’s the perfect illustration of what mathematicians call a “periodic tiling of space”, with shapes covering an ...

A square has four right angles (90°). Each diagonal splits a corner into two angles of 45°. Note also that the diagonals cut each other in half at right angles. A rectangle has four right angles. 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 ...

Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I’ve written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I ...
