There is a separate branch in the subject of mathematics which deals with the various kinds of shapes and figures. This branch is called Geometry. Geometry deals with 2d shapes, 3d shapes, lines, ...

Mathematicians show “soft cell” shapes are abundant in natural world. Soft cells are described as natural tiles with curved edges—a stark contrast to the mathematical solutions for creating tiling ...

Fifty years ago, “fractal” was born. In a 1975 book, the Polish-French-American mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot coined the term to describe a family of rough, fragmented shapes that fall outside ...

How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...
