The human visual system exhibits a remarkable ability to decipher the three-dimensional structure of the world from two-dimensional retinal images. Central to this process is the utilisation of shape ...

This course explores some visual aspects of mathematics. Topics are chosen from areas such as geometric constructions, tessellations of the plane, symmetry groups, Platonic and Archimedean solids, ...

A 2D shape is symmetrical if you can draw a line through it and it looks exactly the same either side. This line is called a line of symmetry. Oh that rather smug expression tells me that square knows ...

2025 marked a historic year in mathematics. Researchers solved a major case of Hilbert’s ambitious sixth problem, proved a sweeping new theorem about hyperbolic surfaces, and settled the longstanding ...

In this session the children think of symmetrical shapes they have observed in objects - such as buildings - and then recreate these together in groups. 1: Warm up: Moving parts of the body in ...
