Some Solid (Three-dimensional) Geometrical Facts about the Golden Section

| by

Having looked at the flat geometry (two dimensional) of the number Phi, we now find it in the most symmetrical of the three-dimensional solids – the Platonic Solids. The five regular solids (where “regular” means all sides are equal and all angles are the same and all the faces are identical) are called the five … Read more

Fractal geometry of music

| by

Abstract   Music critics have compared Bach’s music to the precision of mathematics. What “mathematics” and what “precision” are the questions for a curious scientist. The purpose of this short note is to suggest that the mathematics is, at least in part, Mandelbrot’s fractal geometry and the precision is the deviation from a log-log linear … Read more
