Jay Bonner’s new book on Islamic geometric patterns is as dense and thick (595 pages) as the thorniest of textbooks, but the hundreds of illustrations and the immersion in this topic are simply ...

A mathematician has developed a new way to uncover simple patterns that might underlie apparently complex systems, such as clouds, cracks in materials or the movement of the stockmarket. The method, ...

A new study published in PLOS One sheds new light on early human intelligence by revealing that 60,000-year-old ostrich eggshell fragments from southern Africa bear intricate geometric markings. These ...

Islamic geometric patterns and architecture represent a profound synthesis of mathematical precision and artistic expression inherent in centuries of cultural heritage. These patterns are not merely ...

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 ...

Mathematical truths are often born of the conflict between order and disorder. Mathematicians discover patterns, and, to better understand the mysterious forces at play, they look for countervailing ...

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...
