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 ...

Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...

Do you recall your high school geometry? Given isosceles triangle ABC, where side AB is equal to side BC, then angle A is also equal to angle C. That’s not something your math teacher invented—it’s a ...
