Before starting this guide, it may be helpful to read the guide from Module 3 (M3) on perimeter, area and volume involving sectors, cylinders, cones and spheres. \(\text{area} = \frac{\theta}{360 ...

A 125-page proof posted to arXiv may represent a huge breakthrough in geometric measure theory.This problem has implications in fields like encryption, computer science, and number theory.How much ...

Other critters might have an inherent sense of geometry, too, says Nieder, but until now ... or irregular quadrilaterals. The ...

For example, if a kitchen unit is 600 mm wide to the nearest 10 mm, it could actually be any width from 595 mm up to 605 mm – so it might not fit into a gap that is exactly 600 mm wide.

Two mathematicians now say they’ve made progress on a very old unsolved math problem. The problem involves a subfield called geometric measure theory, in which sets of objects are generalized in an ...
