3D Shapes . Prisms

A prism is a polyhedron for which the top and bottom faces (known as the bases) are congruent polygons, and all other faces (known as the lateral faces) are rectangles. (Technically, when the sides are rectangles, the shape is known as a right prism, indicating that the lateral faces meet the sides of the base at right angles. In this lesson, when we use the term prism, we mean a right prism. But there are other types of prisms, too.) A prism is described by the shape of its base. For instance, a rectangular prism has bases that are rectangles, and a pentagonal prism has bases that are pentagons.

Math Teaching Videos Math Teaching VideosEach math problem comes with a step by step video solution, follow up problems, an online calculator and sketch pad. advertisement Jenn's Fish Tank Geometry Geometry is all about shapes and their properties. If you like playing with objects, or like drawing, then geometry is for you! Geometry can be divided into: Plane Geometry is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a piece of paper

logic - the fractal or scale-free middle of a hierarchy What is a fractal? And why does it matter? A fractal shape is geometry with scale – a middle ground or internal axis of scale symmetry. Fun Kids Online Math Games "Sheppard offers everything from early math to pre-algebra. The lessons include interactive activities to practice concepts. Students can shoot fruit, pop balloons, and even play math man (the math version of pac man!). Fractions, place value, money, and basic operations are some of the areas that are covered. Check it out at " --Shannon Jakeman , sjakeman.blogspot.com "Online math games, like the ones that you'll find for free at Sheppard Software, provide a valuable opportunity for children to learn a great deal while they're having fun.

3D Shapes . Intro We live in a three-dimensional world. Every object you can see or touch has three dimensions that can be measured: length, width, and height. The room you are sitting in can be described by these three dimensions. The monitor you're looking at has these three dimensions. Even you can be described by these three dimensions. The Bizarre Object We Believed Was Impossible to Visualize Well I wouldn't suggest you chop your fingers off like Django. But the rest of it yes I suggest you try to write. Also I as a Humanities major don't really understand this but it does sound cool.

Search Fractional Wall Stage: 2 Challenge Level: Using the picture of the fraction wall, can you find equivalent fractions? Fractions The Sound of Silence II by Thomas Váczy Hightower Standing waves In the first part of The Sound of Silence we have mainly investigated the broaden concept of motion, the pendulum and its strange behavior at the quantum level. Now we will explore other meta physical aspects of music and sounds. Standing waves is an essential phenomenon in the creation of the musical tone. In my page The Creation of the Musical Scale there is a description of standing waves. Knots and Surfaces Surfaces With Boundary In class, we have mainly studied surfaces without boundary - the sphere, torus, klein bottle, etc. We have been particularly interested in the Euler characteristics of these surfaces. How do we find the Euler characteristic of a surface with boundary? Any surface with boundary can be "capped off" to create a surface without boundary simply by filling each boundary component with a disk.

Geometry: Requirements for a Visualization System for 2020 In this essay, i give a list of requirements that i think is necessary for a software system for creating scientific visualization for the next decade. For the past 10 years, i have been strongly interested in mathematical visualization. I'm not a professor, and am not doing it for the educational purposes per se. Geometry has just been beautiful for me, and i'm also a professional programer.

Riemann sphere The Riemann sphere can be visualized as the complex number plane wrapped around a sphere (by some form of stereographic projection – details are given below). In mathematics, the Riemann sphere, named after the 19th century mathematician Bernhard Riemann, is a model of the extended complex plane, the complex plane plus a point at infinity. This extended plane represents the extended complex numbers, that is, the complex numbers plus a value ∞ for infinity. With the Riemann model, the point "∞" is near to very large numbers, just as the point "0" is near to very small numbers. In geometry, the Riemann sphere is the prototypical example of a Riemann surface, and is one of the simplest complex manifolds. In projective geometry, the sphere can be thought of as the complex projective line P1(C), the projective space of all complex lines in C2.
