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…

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…

Tycho Brahe
In keeping with the theme of geometry and measurements, we now explore an influential person on a character we will study later, that person being specifically in this context, Johannes Kepler. A name which may be familiar to some, and to others, not so much. This individual goes by the name Tycho Brahe. Who Was…

Measurements & Geometry
The Ishango bone which has tally marks grouped in such a way that they appear to have been used for calculations is an example of what is called discrete mathematics and deals specifically with quantities that can be counted, now while this may seem confusing at first, you will understand the difference between discrete and…

Chef Ape
Chemistry and cooking two seemingly unrelated topics, cooking makes food easier and quicker to digest releasing more calories and allowing in wider ranges of foods to be cooked and added to our diets. Cooked food particularly, cooked meat requires less chewing and uses less energy to digest. This has been described as one of the…

In a previous article entitled ‘Atomic Theory – The Beginning’ we covered Democritus who was a strong proponent of aforementioned theory & although he did complain that he was relatively unknown in Athens upon his arrival, he was blessed with a long life. Many owe this to his way of living which entailed that being…
