Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...

We often regard mathematics with a cold reverence. The discipline is driven by rules and principles that are eternal and stoic. There will never be a finite number of primes, for instance, and the ...

Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is ...

Our gallery gets to grips with hyperbolic space through mathematical artist Vi Hart’s visualisations in balloons, beads, clothes and more. See more in our gallery here. Receive a weekly dose of ...
