Non-Euclidean Geometry [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1911
As many mathematicians give very little thought to the theory of sets, it is perhaps worth while dwelling for moment on Dr. Sommerville's possibly misleading remarks in NATURE of October 5. He, quite correctly, points out the one-one correspondence between the aggregates of integral numbers 1, 2, 3, &c. (n), and even numbers 2, 4, 6, &c. (2n). Thus the

NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1943
THE philosopher Kant declared that Euclidean geometry was inherent in the human mind and expressed the truth about space. We now recognize that non-Euclidean geometry is equally valid as an abstract system, and that one particular form (due to Riemann) has more claim than Euclidean geometry to represent the properties of physical space.

Toth e il pensiero trans-euclideo in Aristotele (Toth and trans-euclidean thought in Aristotle)

open access: yesScience & Philosophy
For about 2000 years the postulate of parallels, enunciated by Euclid, was a source of doubts (postulate or theorem?) clarified with the birth of non-Euclidean geometry.

After Non-Euclidean Geometry: Intuition, Truth and the Autonomy of Mathematics

open access: yesJournal for the History of Analytical Philosophy, 2018
The mathematical developments of the 19th century seemed to undermine Kant’s philosophy. Non-Euclidean geometries challenged Kant’s view that there is a spatial intuition rich enough to yield the truth of Euclidean geometry.

The geometry of visual experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this thesis I examine what the geometry of visual experience is. This is a question which to some has had an a priori answer, and to some its relevance to philosophy has been considered questionable.

Fostering Innovation: Streamlining Magnetocaloric Materials Research by Digitalization

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetocaloric cooling (MCE) is an environmentally friendly refrigeration method with great potential. Optimizing MCE materials involves the preparation and screening of large quantities of samples, which in turn generates a large amount of data. A digitalization approach is presented that uses ontologies, knowledge graphs, and digital workflows to ...

An Overview of Existing Problems in Teaching the Science ”Fundamentals of Geometry”

open access: yesInternational Journal of Social Sciences & Educational Studies
This paper goes into the challenges faced in the teaching of geometry, emphasizing its foundational principles. It investigates an alternate viewpoint by relating geometric principles to verses from the Holy Quran, implying that geometric conceptions ...
