Susanna Heikkilä uses a knitted chessboard pattern and crocheted balls to illustrate the idea of quasiregular mappings, or how the plane curves to cover the form. Susanna Heikkilä solved a problem in ...

Virtual reality can take you to some far-out places — mountaintops, distant cities and even fantastical game worlds. A team of artists and mathematicians is now adding to that list: universes where ...

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 ...
