In mid-March, the mathematicians Joshua Greene and Andrew Lobb found themselves in the same situation: locked down and struggling to adjust while the Covid-19 pandemic grew outside their doors. They ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

It was 1975 when celebrated artist Salvador Dali read a story in the Washington Post about mathematician Tom Banchoff. Next to the article was a headshot of Banchoff and an image of an unfolded ...

THIS work, which is primarily a formal treatise on the differential geometry of curves, surfaces, and threefold regions in ordinary homaloidal space of four dimensions, follows fairly closely on the ...

Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

Hugelmeyer’s idea was to do something similar for the Möbius strip, but to embed it in four-dimensional space instead, where he could use features of four-dimensional geometry to prove the results he ...
