Investigates the idea of symmetry of three-dimensional objects and develops a strategy for counting the symmetries of the five so-called ‘Platonic solids’. This strategy is used to check the results for...
Leading topologists from around the world, in Heidelberg for an international conference, talk about their understanding and use of topology. Animated grapics illustrate the Alexander Horned Sphere and...
This CD-ROM continues the theme of TESSALATIONS AND POLYHEDRA (POLYTOPIA I) to space-filling arrangements of polyhedra and the 4D equivalents of the Platonic Solids. Topics include Face Centred Cubic and...
This CD-ROM explores the history and scientific applications of geometry. Topics include Plato’s Geometrical Alchemy, Kepler’s Universe, Polyhedra and the Natural World and Buckminsterfullerine. The text...
CD-ROM based teaching resource looking at the interplay between mathematics and the visual arts. Modules cover spiritual geometry, magic squares, perspective, knots and links, the Divine Proportion, ‘The...
Comprises a series of visual experiences from art and architecture. A ‘beholder’ superimposes her own geometric constructions on the scenes, which include buildings in Oxford and elsewhere. Some...
Discussions focusing on computer science, mechanical and electrical engineering. 1.1: Concepts - Fractals: relations between chaos and fractals, reaturing Benoit Mandelbrot. Discusses self-similarity with...
Traces the mathematics of chaos and fractas back to its orgins, showing how the concepts grew out of a mistake by one of the world’s great mathemqaticians to become an intriguing set of concepts that are...

Looks at the regularity and symmetry found in some three-dimensional shapes, in particular the Egyptian pyramids, the five platonic solids and the standard football design. Shows the proof of Euler’s...
