Ancient Indian mathematician Baudhayana was the first person to formulate a theorem on right-angled triangles that in its modern form came to be associated with Greek mathematician Pythagoras, a newly ...

Abstract: We examine a multistate logic computation scheme based on nanomagnets with configurational anisotropy (CA). We present a case study of a structure comprising a thin equilateral ...

The study of conformal (angle-preserving) maps has a long history. Since the earth is curved, any geographical map has to distort either angles or sizes. For navigation, conformality - preserving ...

A new book, Megalith, claims ancient Britons built Stonehenge “and other stone circles with a knowledge of Pythagoras' theorem, 2,000 years before the Greek philosopher formalized geometry.” ...

Abstract: The characteristics of equilateral-triangle resonator (ETR) and square resonator microlasers are reported, which are potential light sources in the photonic integrations. Based on the ...

For over a century, a simple yet tricky math problem had continued to baffle experts. Mathematicians struggled to find the fewest number of pieces needed to cut an equilateral triangle and rearrange ...

About a decade ago Tonan Kamata, now a mathematician at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), stood mesmerized in front of a math museum’s origamilike exhibit. It featured a ...

Mathematicians have proven that Henry Dudeney’s 1907 four-piece dissection of an equilateral triangle into a square is optimal. Using matching diagrams, researchers from JAIST and MIT showed that no ...

Over 120 years ago, Henry Ernest Dudeney posed the famous dissection problem of transforming a triangle into a square by cutting it into as few pieces as possible. In a new study, researchers have ...

Discusses the properties and types of triangles, explaining that a triangle is a closed figure with three sides and angles. It categorizes triangles into equilateral, isosceles, scalene, obtuse, right ...
