Examines the different types of patterns in the decorations of the walls of the Alhambra Palace in the finest tradition of Moorish Spain. Shows that most of the patterns are repetitive and may therefore be...
Recording of a lecture given by Professor Nigel Ray as part of the London Mathematical Society’s Popular Lecture Series. If tame geometry is epitomised by familiar shapes of everyday life, wild geometry is...
An Open University programme using optics and geometry to investigate the rainbow. Over the years the rainbow has fascinated theologians and philosophers alike. Both groups have suggested many reasons for...
A film about fractal geometry, retracing the steps that led to the discovery of the Mandelbrot set, with the aim of illustrating the implications and applications of the Mandelbrot set and fractal geometry...
Material on chaos theory and fractal geometry, with text, worksheets sound, video and animation.
Introduces the idea of affine geometry and looks at different aspects of it use. In three sections: 1: Introduces two theorems about ellipses - the midpoint theorem and the conjugate diameters theorem. Shows...
Examines the theorem whereby with any conic and any tangent triangle to it, the construction joining each vertex of the triangle to the opposite point of tengency produces three lines that meet in a point....
Introduces inversive geometry and shows how it can be used to study the geometry of circles. In four sections: 1) Introduces the inversion transformation and shows how it can be considered as a...
Support for course units GE/GR 3 and 4. Discusses the five lattice types: hexagonal, parallelogram, rectangular, square and rhombic and illustrates them using computer graphics and animations. Altogether 12...
Three programmes for use with course units IB1 and IB3: 1) Living with Patterns (37 min): Explores geometry using wallpaper and tiling patterns. Shows rotational and reflectional symmetries with wallpaper...
