From methods of geometric construction, to three-dimensional figures, to properties of triangles, to representations and transformation, this video introduces middle school students to more advanced properties and concepts of geometry.

Uses computer-rendered models to illustrate five essential topics in mathematics. These include how the Golden Ratio is calculated and applied, the ratio of similitude and how it relates to the Pythagorean Theorem and fractals, defining pi, Hippocratic crescents, and cylindrical and conic sections--container.

Many students think that math has no practical use, when in fact, math influences us in every way. Though we may not realize it, our daily lives are crammed full of objects designed with precise geometric shapes. Find out why objects have the shape they do, the many practical uses of Geometry, and Geometry's role in explaining the universe. Also find out about some common shapes are their functions: The circle, the sphere, the cylinder, the cone,...

Students will figure out the area of everyday shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and polygons. After that we will be introduced to cones, prisms, and cylinders. Topics include: Angles, Triangles, Polygons, Circles, and Volume.

"The projective, Mobius, Laguerre, and Minkowski planes over the real numbers are just a few examples of a host of fundamental classical topological geometries on surfaces that satisfy an axiom of joining. This book summarises all known major results and open problems related to these classical geometries and their close (non-classical) relatives." "Topics covered include: classical geometries; methods for constructing non-classical geometries; classifications...

Offers a comprehensive overview of basic geometry, with easy-to-understand explanations of concepts, principles, definitions, examples, and applications.

Dazzling computer animation combined with the genius of Benoit Mandelbrot and Edward Lorenz present a captivating discussion of fractals and the fundamental concepts of fractal geometry-self-similarity and chaos. Mandelbrot uses a simple head of broccoli to demonstrate the complexity of fractals. Narrating over the three-dimensional animations, Mandelbrot discusses how fractals serve as an excellent model of irregular natural forms, such as coastlines,...
