Every curricular area has a global dimension that can be taught in the classroom, including math. This is often the area that is most difficult for people to grasp as being global, but math helps us ...

Ever wondered what four dimensions really mean? Discover why knots can’t exist in 4D space — and how mathematicians use cubes and clever analogies to understand higher dimensions.

The notion of dimension at first seems intuitive. Glancing out the window we might see a crow sitting atop a cramped flagpole experiencing zero dimensions, a robin on a telephone wire constrained to ...

Mathematicians, freed in their imaginations from physical constraints, can conjure up descriptions of objects in many more dimensions than that. Points in a plane can be described with pairs of ...

Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes ...

It's not easy to imagine dimensions higher than the three that we exist in, but in math, higher dimensions are used all the time. As pointed out in this video from 3Blue1Brown, there are some ...
