Johannes Kepler
Kepler achieved much in his lifetime, from theories on geometry, astrology and cosmology, to making progress in such areas as science and mathematics, optics, the discovery of two new polyhedra, work on the golden ratio and theories on the packing of spheres. Kepler is mostly remembered for his three laws of planetary motion but he…

Gimme That Stat!
The Symmetry that exists within statistics can be represented by the familiar bell curve that represent a class of statistical distributions referred to as normal distributions. The mathematical equation for determining normal statistics lies in the idea that normal is based on the range of measurements that occur in nature. The symmetrical nature of the…

Mathematical Objects
The five point design found at the centre of an apple has what is referred to as mirror symmetry but also interestingly enough, it has properties of what is called rotational symmetry. What this basically means is that if you were to find a perfect shape in that form, it could be rotated 72 degrees…

Sierpinski’s Triangle
Mandelbrot’s Fractals will be familiar to a few of you from a piece I did a while ago, this short piece will cover a small aspect of something similar called Sierpinski’s triangle. What is the triangle and how does it work? Simply put it is an easily constructed form of fractal, one that is recursive…
