Inspired by the ancient spiral constructed by the greek philosopher Theodorus which is based on concatenated right triangles, we have created a spiral. In this spiral, called \emph{Fibonacci--Theodorus}, the sides of the triangles have…

For every $n$, we construct two curves in the plane that intersect at least $n$ times and do not form spirals. The construction is in three stages: we first exhibit closed curves on the torus that do not form double spirals, then arcs on…

It is well known that a triangle with side lengths 3, 4 and 5 is right-angled. Euclid was the first to give a formula for generating other right-angled triangles with integer side lengths. In this text, I present a novel algorithm to…

In Euclidean geometry the circle of Apollonious is the locus of points in the plane from which two collinear adjacent segments are perceived as having the same length. In Hyperbolic geometry, the analog of this locus is an algebraic curve…

Two tetrahedra are called orthologic if the lines through vertices of one and perpendicular to corresponding faces of the other are intersecting. This is equivalent to the orthogonality of non-corresponding edges. We prove that the…

In 1998, in the winter issue of the journal Mathematics and Computer education (see [1]), Monte Zerger posed the following problem. He had noticed the Pythagorean triple (216,630,666);(216)^2+(630)^2=(666)^2. Note that 216=6^3 and 666 is…

The solution of Apollonius' problem on constructing a circle (line), tangent to three given circles (lines), is presented in terms of oriented circles and inversive invariants. Tangency is understood as the coincidence of tangent vectors at…

This article proves a Pythagoras-type formula for the sides and diagonals of a polygon inscribed in a semicircle having one of the sides of the polygon as diameter.

We show that, if a $n$-vertex triangulation $T$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ has a dual that contains a cycle of length $\ell$, then $T$ has a non-crossing straight-line drawing in which some \emph{collinear set} of $\Omega(\ell/\Delta^4)$…

We prove that every rational angled hyperbolic triangle has transcendental side lengths and that every rational angled hyperbolic quadrilateral has at least one transcendental side length. Thus, there does not exist a rational angled…

In this article, we discuss whether a single congruent number $t$ can have two (or more) distinct triangles with the same hypotenuse. We also describe and carry out computational experimentation providing evidence that this does not occur.

When the sequence of regular polygons with consecutively increasing numbers of sides is joined edge-to-edge in a single direction while minimizing bending, the resulting structure assumes the shape of a logarithmic spiral. This paper proves…

In this paper; we prove that all sequences can be broken up in cycles. Each cycle follows the same pattern: 1) Upward trajectory. Odd and even numbers alternate until the cycle reaches an upper bound 2) Downward trajectory. Two or more…

The changes observed in the topology of superfluid helium vortices have intrigued people for some time now [1]. These vortices either extend from wall to wall, however tangled they may be in between, or else can be roughly circular and…

Given a 2-sheeted torus over the circle with winding number 1, we prove that its polynomial hull is a union of 2-sheeted holomorphic discs. Moreover when the hull is non degenerate its boundary is a Levi-flat solid torus foliated by such…

After the introduction, in section 2 we state the well known parametric formulas that describe the entire family of Pythagorean triples. In section 3, we list four well known results from number theory, used later in the paper. in section…

In spite of much work, the overall spiral structure morphology of the Milky Way remains somewhat uncertain. In the last two decades, accurate distance measurements have provided us with an opportunity to solve this issue. Using the precise…

Aperiodic tiling is a well-know area of research. First developed by mathematicians for the mathematical challenge they represent and the beauty of their resulting patterns, they became a growing field of interest when their practical use…

A shadow of a geometric object $A$ in a given direction $v$ is the orthogonal projection of $A$ on the hyperplane orthogonal to $v$. We show that any topological embedding of a circle into Euclidean $d$-space can have at most two shadows…

The Pythagorean Theorem has been proved in hundreds of ways, yet it inspires fresh insights through geometry and trigonometry. In this paper, we offer a new proof based on three circles that circumscribe the sides of a right triangle.…
