Cynthia Lanius Thanks to PBS for permission to use the Pyramid photo. History of Geometry Egyptians c. 2000 - 500 B.C. Ancient Egyptians demonstrated a practical knowledge of geometry through surveying and construction projects. The Nile River overflowed its banks every year, and the river banks would have to be re-surveyed. See a PBS Nova unit on those big pointy buildings. In the Rhind Papyrus, pi is approximated. Babylonians c. 2000 - 500 B.C. Ancient clay tablets reveal that the Babylonians knew the Pythagorean relationships. One clay tablet reads 4 is the length and 5 the diagonal. What is the breadth? Its size is not known. 4 times 4 is 16. 5 times 5 is 25. You take 16 from 25 and there remains 9. What times what shall I take in order to get 9? 3 times 3 is 9. 3 is the breadth. Greeks c. 750-250 B.C. Ancient Greeks practiced centuries of experimental geometry like Egypt and Babylonia had, and they absorbed the experimental geometry of both of those cultures. Then they created the first formal mathematics of any kind by organizing geometry with rules of logic. Euclid's (400BC) important geometry book The Elements formed the basis for most of the geometry studied in schools ever since.

Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal (2004) Main April 29, 2004 An Incomprehensible Necessary Truth I asked for this :-) : Geekable.com : We cannot understand it: As Benjamin Peirce said, "Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth. Here's my question: does Euler's fundamental fact regarding complex numbers change depending on gravity TrackBack Other weblogs commenting on this post Main Comments If you think that’s mysterious try Riemann surfaces and branch cuts: ways to cope with multiple valued functions. First we were told functions really had to be single valued, then came complex variables where they (sort of) didn’t. So what are Riemann surfaces? From Eric Weisstein’s Mathworld (a great web resource): “The Riemann surface S of the function field K is the set of nontrivial discrete valuations on K. Here, the set S corresponds to the ideals of the ring A of integers of K over . (A consists of the elements of K that are roots of monic polynomials over .) Riemann surfaces provide a geometric visualization of functions elements and their analytic continuations.” Got that?

Munck Table of Contents The Geometry of Ancient Sites Introduction The Problematic The Geography and the Geometry The Corridors/Pathways on a Timeline The Great Pyramid Design Observations The Geometry of Ancient Sites by Charles William Johnson Introduction Today, we think of art and science as representing two diametrically opposed fields of human endeavor. With counted exceptions, the people who are dedicated to one field or the other are at opposite ends of the personality chain. One either does science or art, but seldom both. The artwork of the ancient past is thought to be wholly on the side of art, with little or nothing to do with science. At best, it may be conceded that some architectural constructions may have required a high level of engineering skill, but even that is thought to have been within the realm of technology and not science as such. Furthermore, there are those who persistently refuse to consider any contribution to science by the ancient cultures. In our studies of science in ancient artwork, we have come to realize that we know very little about the inner workings of the ancient past. We have no knowledge of the computational math behind much of the ancient artwork and ancient reckoning systems. Such documents as the

Noncommutative Geometry, Trace Formulas and the Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function Abstract In this course we first give a general introduction to noncommutative geometry. We then discuss a fundamental example of noncommutative space related to the Riemann zeta function. This gives a spectral interpretation of the critical zeros of the Riemann zeta function as an absorption spectrum, while the noncritical zeros appear as resonances, and a geometric interpretation of the explicit formulas of number theory as a trace formula on a noncommutative space. This reduces the Riemann hypothesis to the validity of the trace formula, which remains unproved, and eliminates the parameter of our previous approach. Topics Introduction to noncommutative geometry Quantum chaos and the hypothetical Riemann flow. Algebraic geometry and global fields of nonzero characteristic. Spectral interpretation of critical zeros. The distribution trace formula for flows on manifolds. The action of K on K for a local field. The global case, and the formal trace computation. The trace formula and S -units.

97. Geometric Formulae Review Reviews basic geometric formulae commonly arising in algebraic contexts such as Vsph = (4/3)(pi)r3. You may notice other formulas cropping up in your http://www.purplemath.com/modules/geoform.htm

Purplemath — Your Algebra Resource This lesson may be printed out for personal use. Terms of (web)Use Geometric Formulae Review Lessons Home There are many geometric formulas, relating height, width, length, or radius to perimeter, area, surface area, or volume. Some of the formulas are rather complicated, and you hardly ever see them, let alone use them. But there are some basic formulas that you really should have memorized, because it really is reasonable for your instructor to expect you to know them. For instance, it is very easy to find the area of a rectangle: the area is just the length l times the width w A rect lw If you look at a picture of a rectangle, and remember that "perimeter" means "length around the outside", you'll see that a rectangle's perimeter is the sum of the top and bottom lengths l and the left and right widths w P rect l w Squares are even simpler, because their lengths and widths are identical. The area and perimeter of a square with side-length

98. Sacred Geometry Home Page Sacred geometry is an ancient art and science which reveals the nature of our relationship to the cosmos. Its study unfolds the principle of oneness underlying all creation in its myriad expression, and leads us inevitably to the perspective of interconnectedness, inseparability and union. http://www.intent.com/sg/

Sacred Geometry Home Page by Bruce Rawles In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created. The Sphere (charcoal sketch of a sphere by Nancy Rawles) Starting with what may be the simplest and most perfect of forms, the sphere is an ultimate expression of unity, completeness, and integrity. There is no point of view given greater or lesser importance, and all points on the surface are equally accessible and regarded by the center from which all originate. Atoms, cells, seeds, planets, and globular star systems all echo the spherical paradigm of total inclusion, acceptance, simultaneous potential and fruition, the macrocosm and microcosm. The Circle The circle is a two-dimensional shadow of the sphere which is regarded throughout cultural history as an icon of the ineffable oneness; the indivisible fulfillment of the Universe. All other symbols and geometries reflect various aspects of the profound and consummate perfection of the circle, sphere and other higher dimensional forms of these we might imagine.

99. Area/Perimeter/Volume Word Problems Some problems are just straightforward applications of basic geometric formulae . If the area of the deck is 60(pi) square feet, find its width. http://www.purplemath.com/modules/perimetr.htm

Purplemath — Your Algebra Resource This lesson may be printed out for personal use. Terms of (web)Use Geometric Word Problems Lessons Home The trick to these problems is to note that, unless it's a simple application of basic geometric formulae, they will almost always give you two pieces of information, such as a statement about perimeter and then a question about area. Then you need to write the two equations related to these two pieces of information, solve one of the equations for one of the variables, and then plug this into the other equation. Here are some examples: Three times the width of a certain rectangle exceeds twice its length by three inches, and four times its length is twelve more than its perimeter. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. The first statement compares the length L and the width W . Start by doing things orderly, with clear and complete labelling:
