In an online lecture, a professor mentioned that Einstein could draw or imagine a 4-dimensional figure. How can one possibly do that? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where ...
Mathematicians, freed in their imaginations from physical constraints, can conjure up descriptions of objects in many more dimensions than that. Points in a plane can be described with pairs of ...
Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes ...
Mathematician Jeffrey Weeks led an introductory-level tutorial last night on a not-so-elementary concept: four-dimensional shapes. In the second talk of his three-part Norbert Wiener Lecture Series ...
