I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

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 ...

Circle theorems are properties that are true for all circles, regardless of their size. There are six theorems to learn and recognise. Questions can have a combination of theorems. It is important to ...

IT will be immediately admitted by all mathematicians that the foundations of pure geometry were well and truly laid by the Greeks in the period preceding and succeeding the time of Christ. They ...

Since the start of the 20th century, the heart of mathematics has been the proof — a rigorous, logical argument for whether a given statement is true or false. Mathematicians’ careers are measured by ...

THE book under review is the sixth volume of the “Principles of Geometry” by Prof. H. F. Baker, of St. John's College, Cambridge. As expository treatises of algebraic geometry, these six volumes ...
