The Manifold Clock Kickstarter project embraces the mathematical concept of Riemann surfaces to create an artsy 3D timepiece that expresses time through shape and movement. Freelance writer Amanda C.

Eugenio Calabi was known to his colleagues as an inventive mathematician — “transformatively original,” as his former student Xiuxiong Chen put it. In 1953, Calabi began to contemplate a class of ...

The field of complex geometry, intertwined with Lie theory, represents a vibrant area where algebraic and differential techniques converge to unravel the structure of complex manifolds and their ...

As topologists seek to classify shapes, the effort hinges on how to define a manifold and what it means for two of them to be equivalent. Sorting a collection of shapes is child’s play. Circles here, ...
