It is well known that Al-Khay\^am, for the first time in history, formulated a complete theory to solve third degree equations using the intersection of geometric curves and moreover solved the fourteen types of equations using this method.…

This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…

The method of application of areas as presented in Euclid's Elements, is employed to generate the three conics as the loci of points with Cartesian coordinates satisfying quadratic equations with coefficients defined by the initial settings…

Conics in the Euclidean space have been known for their geometrical beauty and also for their power to model several phenomena in real life. It usually happens that when thinking about the conics in a semi-Riemannian manifold, the equations…

This paper explores the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio as organizing principles for visual composition and abstraction in painting. The author shows how recursive proportional systems, long associated with natural growth and…

When considering geometry, one might think of working with lines and circles on a flat plane as in Euclidean geometry. However, doing geometry in other spaces is possible, as the existence of spherical and hyperbolic geometry demonstrates.…

In 1640's, Blaise Pascal discovered a remarkable property of a hexagon inscribed in a conic - Pascal Theorem, which gave birth of the projective geometry. In this paper, a new geometric invariant of algebraic curves is discovered by a…

While geometry with transcendental curves, like the Quadratrix of Hippias and the Spiral of Archimedes, played a significant role in our modern developments of geometry and algebra. The investigation has fallen off in the modern era despite…

Real quadric curves are often referred to as "conic sections," implying that they can be realized as plane sections of circular cones. However, it seems that the details of this equivalence have been partially forgotten by the mathematical…

This paper is concerned with a covering problem of Euclidean space by a particular arrangement of cones that are not necessarily full and are allowed to overlap. The problem provides an equivalent geometric reformulation of the solvability…

This paper first gives a brief overview over some interesting descriptions of conic sections, showing formulations in the three geometric algebras of Euclidean spaces, projective spaces, and the conformal model of Euclidean space. Second…

In this paper we study a class of algebras having $n$-dimensional pyramid shaped quiver with $n$-cubic cells, which we called $n$-cubic pyramid algebras. This class of algebras includes the quadratic dual of the basic $n$-Auslander…

Cylindrical algebraic decomposition is a classical construction in real algebraic geometry. Although there are many algorithms to compute a cylindrical algebraic decomposition, their practical performance is still very limited. In this…

This work rests upon the certainty that only fields of real and complex numbers, quaternions and octonions have algebras of all four arithmetical operations. Also quaternions are good to represent 3-dimensional Euclid space and…

The author proposes a new geometry in this book. The author named this new geometry Intercenter Geometry. Intercenter Geometry is different from traditional Euclidean geometry and analytic geometry (coordinate geometry). The idea of…

With a bird's-eye view, we survey the landscape of Calabi-Yau threefolds, compact and non-compact, smooth and singular. Emphasis will be placed on the algorithms and databases which have been established over the years, and how they have…

We demonstrate a new approach to the computation of ratios of elliptic integrals. It turns out that almost closed polygons interscribed between two conics retain some of the properties of such closed polygons. We apply these retained…

We present a survey of recent results, scattered in a series of papers that appeared during past five years, whose common denominator is the use of cubic relations in various algebraic structures. Cubic (or ternary) relations can represent…

We consider algebras of $m\times m\times m$-cubic matrices (with $m=1,2,\dots$). Since there are several kinds of multiplications of cubic matrices, one has to specify a multiplication first and then define an algebra of cubic matrices…

Associated to any finite metric space are a large number of objects and quantities which provide some degree of structural or geometric information about the space. In this paper we show that in the setting of subsets of weighted Hamming…
