Over 8,000 years ago, early farming communities in northern Mesopotamia were already thinking mathematically—long before ...

Researchers investigate hundreds of motifs made by Halafians and determine that they exhibited mathematical themes.

Hebrew University researchers uncovered 8,000-year-old pottery showing floral patterns built on precise geometric ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

The first thing you notice about mahjong is how beautiful it is. The tiles are colorful pieces of art, often made of bamboo, ivory or bone and depicting exquisite images that reveal your hand. Mahjong ...

Abstract: Although mathematicians often use it, mathematical beauty is a philosophically challenging concept. How can abstract objects be evaluated as beautiful? Is this related to their ...

Abstract: Aesthetics in philosophy of mathematics is too narrowly construed. Beauty is not the only feature in mathematics that is arguably aesthetic. While not the highest aesthetic value, being ...

Julia Sets are mathematical objects relating to the field of complex dynamics. In general, Julia sets are studied in parallel to Fatou sets, as they are complementary sets defined from a complex ...
