Dive into one of the most wicked geometry problems and see it explained step by step in a clear, intuitive way. This lesson breaks down the hidden structure, key insights, and clever reasoning that ...

In this video, we break the problem down step by step to show how basic math principles are all you really need. By focusing on logic and simplification instead of heavy formulas, you’ll see how ...

THE authors of this volume have taken for their aim the axiom that the best preparation for the calculus is a suitable course in co-ordinate geometry. The text is thus divided into two sections: the ...

Can you chip in? As an independent nonprofit, the Internet Archive is fighting for universal access to quality information. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

Meet “impossibagel,” a physically impossible bagel that mathematicians use to resolve intricate geometry problems. But impossibagel—and other “impossible objects” in mathematics—is notoriously ...

So how to best describe Americans’ relationship with math? The answer is, well, a lot like multivariable calculus: It’s complicated. A national Gallup study reveals that more than 90% of American ...

Today’s two questions test your geometrical smarts. The first is about a triangle, the second about a square. 1. Tricky triangle This one was sent in by a reader, aged 85, who first saw it in 1960. He ...

Abstract: In recent years, research on automatic analytic geometry problems has gained considerable attention. The key areas of focus include the analysis of natural language problems, graph analysis, ...

(1) THE theory of maxima and minima contains pitfalls into which have fallen such well-known mathematicians as Lagrange, Bertrand, Serret, and Todhunter. A peculiar interest, therefore, is attached to ...
