Masaki Kashiwara is the first Japanese person to be awarded the most prestigious prize in mathematics. Mathematician Masaki ...

Learning about symmetry for children is so important! Symmetry plays an important role in problem-solving skills, cognitive development, geometry understanding, and artistic skills. That’s why ...

A shape has a line of symmetry when the folded part sits perfectly on top with all edges matching. The number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides. A shape has ...

The question of how far geometric properties of a manifold determine its global topology is a classical problem in global differential geometry. Building on recent breakthroughs we investigate this ...

A possible method for probing the properties of exotic particles that exist on the surfaces of an unusual type of superconductor has been theoretically proposed by two RIKEN physicists. The paper ...
