20 (evil) Geometry events in history by

Roman Aquaduct

The semicircle arch is built so that the arch height is exactly half of the arch width. An 0.5% decent was the ideal angle, using lots of angles and arches in geometry.

Pyramids

Pyramids are quite the advanced geometric shape, bringing lots of dimensions in the mix. This is geometric as it relates to plane, used in today's mathematics.

Plato

Plato was a philosopher who's views shaped geometry to this day. a quote for his school being, "Let none ignorant of geometry enter here."

Discovery of calculus

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-06 17:25:21 UTC

Its widely believed that Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz both discovered and created calculus in the 17th century.

Arthur Cayley and quaternions

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-07 17:21:23 UTC

In 1854 Arthur shows that quaternions can represent rotations in four-dimensional space.

Colosseum

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-07 17:26:24 UTC

Its seems mathematically impossible, Romans probably used a method called the "carpenter's oval" construction to make identical ovals. Really connecting with their inner Geometry.

E8

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 14:40:43 UTC

Very complicated mapping for this train was done using geometry. The landscape and railway system was graphed with advanced math.

Eiffel tower

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 14:44:28 UTC

The curvature of the tower's legs are mathematically determined to give the most wind resistance possible. Thousands of perfect rectangles and parallelograms are formed with the metal bars.

Taj Mahal

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 14:47:37 UTC

The Taj mahal is a symmetrical building using lots of math to build everything around the center axis of the structure.

Parthenon

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 14:51:50 UTC

Precise geometry was used in the building in all of the proportion. Making this a bit of an art peice.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 17:30:29 UTC

The Cathedrals construction was based on the rotations of the squares and their sturdiness. many years of planning went into the massive amount of equilateral triangles.

United Nations building

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 17:48:44 UTC

The united nations building is a block that was designed using Le Corbusier's Modulor scale of proportions. The building is a wopping 505 ft tall.

CN Tower

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-08 17:57:39 UTC

The tower is one of the tallest free standing towers. This can relate to Geometry because its like the y-axis, and Geometry was a major contribution in building.

Gateway Arch

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-11 18:13:40 UTC

This arch is something called, "inverted catenary curve". The shape was made with the chain that was holding it on both ends.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-11 18:18:54 UTC

The Tower of Pisa, wasn't always leaning. It was first built using the geometrical ideas and construction. But clearly the math was wrong!

Sydney opera house

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-12 16:13:12 UTC

This geometric roof was inspired by most things nature. like walnuts, clouds, and even birds using many triangle and circles in its making

Solomon R Guggenheim Museum

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-12 16:14:52 UTC

The Crazy building is an art exhibit. This is made up of many geometric shapes like circles, calculated to perfectly fit together.

Burj Khalifa

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-12 16:17:17 UTC

This geometric masterpiece of a building is a whopping 2,716.5 feet tall. Its has something called a "Y-shaped tripartite floor geometry".

Las Setas de Seville

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-12 16:19:53 UTC

This twisty sculpture is wood! Its very geometric with lots of squares making its design. It has five level, and a walkway through it.

Habitat 67

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-12 16:22:16 UTC

This Crazy seemingly gravity defying structure is somewhat of a geometrical architecture landmark. Its made of many many shapes all fitting together into one structure.

Beijing National Stadium

abigailkirby4 — 2024-11-12 16:28:03 UTC

This Crazy wild building was made for 2008 summer Olympics .
