Quotes About Geometry

contemplé la ciudad abajo, una geometría cubista reverberante bajo el sol de julio. Parecía como si la ciudad entera fuera un reflejo de la que fue y que tanto me costaba reconocer.

It never ceases to amaze me how adaptable social geometry can be. Within a couple of days I went from being the centre of the circle to an indefinite point outside its circumference.

it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by making all its votaries aristocrats in taste.

When I was a young kid at art school, I loved the sensual geometry of Poliakoff, which, of course, is inherent in my own work.

I've got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen.

I ran into Isosceles. He had a great idea for a new triangle!

Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry.

Boarding-House Geometry DEFINITIONS AND AXIOMS All boarding-houses are the same boarding-house. Boarders in the same boarding-house and on the same flat are equal to one another. A single room is that which has no parts and no magnitude. The landlady of a boarding-house is a

I was very slow in maths, geometry I actually enjoyed.

Cogito: my thinking is distinguished from knowledge, and from the various processes of understanding— memory, imagination, deductive reason, discernment, geometry— that have been externalized, along with synapses and neurons, in the computer.

Algorithmic thought arose before the invention of geometry in Greece, and reemerged in Europe with Pascal and Leibniz, who invented two calculating machines and, like Thumbelina, used pseudonyms.

Three of the four forces (excluding gravity) are therefore united by quantum theory, giving us unification without geometry, which appears to contradict the theme of this book and everything we have considered so far.

This was the missing piece in the puzzle. The secret of wood that bound matter together was the Yang-Mills filed, not the geometry of Einstein. It appeared as though this, and not geometry, was the central lesson of physics.

Riemann found that in four spatial dimensions, one needs a collection of ten numbers at each point to describe its properties.

Roughly speaking, the greater the value of the metric tensor, the greater the crumpling of the sheet. No mattet how crumpled the sheet of paper, the metric tensor gives us a simple means of measuring its curvature at any point. If we flattened the crumpled sheet completely, then we would retrieve the formula of Pythagoras.

Kepler's second law: A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times. It takes as long to travel from B to A as from F to E as from D to C; and the shaded areas BSA, FSE and DSC are all equal.

Geometry existed before the Creation. It is co-eternal with the mind of God Ã¢â'¬Â¦ Geometry provided God with a model for the Creation Ã¢â'¬Â¦ Geometry is God Himself." In

At the Stourbridge Fair in 1663, at age twenty, he purchased a book on astrology, "out of a curiosity to see what there was in it." He read it until he came to an illustration which he could not understand, because he was ignorant of trigonometry. So he purchased a book on trigonometry but soon found himself unable to follow the geometrical arguments. So he found a copy of Euclid's Elements of Geometry, and began to read. Two years later he invented the differential calculus.

From the shadow length in Alexandria, the angle A can be measured. But from simple geometry ("if two parallel straight lines are transected by a third line, the alternate interior angles are equal"), angle B equals angle A. So by measuring the shadow length in Alexandria, Eratosthenes concluded that Syene was A = B = 7° away on the circumference of the Earth.

The fifth regular solid must then, they thought, correspond to some fifth element that could only be the substance of the heavenly bodies.

Geometry existed before the Creation. It is co-eternal with the mind of God Ã¢â'¬Â¦ Geometry provided God with a model for the Creation Ã¢â'¬Â¦ Geometry is God Himself.

Are the worlds of more advanced civilizations totally geometrized, entirely rebuilt by their inhabitants? Or would the signature of really advanced civilization be that they left no sign at all?

Geometry existed before the Creation. It is co-eternal with the mind of God... Geometry provided God with a model for the creatin... Geometry is God Himself. Johannes Kepler

Everybody at the party is a many sided polygon....Nonagon!
