Geometry
-
Coordinates and similar and congruent figures
Definitions and explanations from the Math League.
- Erich’s
Packing Center
Erich enjoys packing geometric shapes into other geometric shapes:
triangles in squares, circles in triangles, squares in circles, and
more, with illustrations, equations, and indications of packings that
have been proved optimal.
-
Euclid’s Elements
The reason for this site is to rekindle an interest in the Elements,
and to show how Java applets can be used to illustrate geometry.
- Four
Types of Symmetry in the Plane
This Math Forum site offers brief explanations of rotation,
translation, reflection, and glide reflection.
- Geometry
Center
The gallery of Interactive Geometry will open your eyes to such things
as Projective Conics, Penrose tilings, Hyperbolic planes, Orbifold
pinball, and much more. Keywords Hyperbolic plane, Lattice, Nonperiodic
tilings, Numerical integration, Orbifold Pinball, Pascal`s theorem,
Penrose tilings, Projective conics, Rainbows, Tilings All the formulas
you've ever wanted. There are also plenty of great teacher resources,
pictures describing geometrical functions, and computer programs for
geometry.
- Geometry
in Action
Here are areas in which ideas from discrete and computational geometry
- mainly low-dimensional Euclidean geometry - meet some real world
applications. There are brief descriptions of those applications and
the geometric questions arising from them, as well as pointers to Web
pages and other sources of further information.

"Hop" David's geometric art work
This site is amazing! The images of how certain numbers, and
trig. proofs are shown, as well as links to a ton of other neat stuff.
- Mathematics
and Molecules
MathMol provides students, teachers, researchers and the general public
with information about the rapidly growing fields of molecular modeling
and related areas. It provide K-13 students and teachers with basic
concepts in mathematics and their connection to molecular modeling.
