  • The Golden Geometry of the Interior Design of the Great Pyramid

    by Themistocles Politof ...
    A golden-ratio-based geometric model unveils the Great Pyramid’s sophisticated design and accounts with astonishing accuracy for all details of its internal and external architecture. The model values match the measurements of W.F. Petrie or G. Dormion within 1 cm or 5', respectively for the lengths and angles, and in multiple cases exactly (within 1 mm or 1'). The model yields mathematical ... Read more

  • Geometry Of The Octonions, The

    by Tevian Dray, Corinne A Manogue ...
    There are precisely two further generalizations of the real and complex numbers, namely, the quaternions and the octonions. The quaternions naturally describe rotations in three dimensions. In fact, all (continuous) symmetry groups are based on one of these four number systems. This book provides an elementary introduction to the properties of the octonions, with emphasis on their geometric ... Read more
