Leonardo Da Vinci created these beautiful illustrations for a book by Luca Pacioli about polyhedra: https://t.co/nxVTCSPymL
In 1915, Emmy Noether discovered an amazing correspondence between the symmetries of space (e.g. translations), and conservation laws in physics (e.g. energy and momentum). It shows how mathematics can explain even the most fundamental laws of nature. https://t.co/mK5X1YQJ9Y
Regular pentagons don't tessellate, but some irregular ones do. There are just 15 different options, the last of which was discovered in 2015. https://t.co/u3eYG9rcjx
Penrose tilings are examples of aperiodic tessellations – even though they only consist of a few different shapes, they never repeat themselves. https://t.co/IQKCeUTtvB
It’s #PuzzleThursday! Can you solve these four new puzzles? https://t.co/0qMstJ5gEk
Happy #EarthDay! More than 2000 years ago, the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes found a way to measure the radius of Earth just using shadows, angles, and simple geometry: https://t.co/WhhzNXC4Cr
This is an example of a Penrose tiling: a special kind of tessellation that is “non-periodic”. Even though it consists of just four different tiles, it never repeats itself. https://t.co/5zKarTm1gO
