Comparing Hyperbolic and Euclidean Geometry
Tesselations of the euclidean and the hyperbolic plane Hyperbolic and euclidean geometry have a quite distinct taste and are very different …
Read moreProjective Geometry: Transformations of Four Flags
What is a flag? A flag consists of a line and a point lying on that line. We consider flags in …
Read moreProjective Geometry: Transformations of Three Flags
Flags consist of a line and a point lying on the line. There exist different transformations of flags, such as the …
Read moreWobbler
The so-called wobbler is a very simple geometrical object. The two discs are cut from a cylinder with a cut plane …
Read more“Hyperbolic” Polysphericons
“Hyperbolic” polysphericons differ from the common polysphericons with respect to the curvature of their surfaces. The concept of curvature is therefore …
Read morePolycons
Polycons have been devised by David Hirsch who patented the sphericon after having discoverd it (independently from others) in 1980. In comparison …
Read morePolysphericons
Polysphericons are solids which can be obtained from polygons with a revolution, cutting in half and gluing back together. One commonly …
Read moreThe Oloid
The oloid is a solid which has been discovered by Paul Schatz in the beginning of the 20th century. He was …
Read moreSteinmetz Solids
Steinmetz solids were discovered by the American-German engineer Charles Steinmetz who was active during the end of 18th century and early 19…
