The shape of Planet Earth
Could the Earth have been flat after all? How about cigar shaped? Or do you prefer pear shaped? It seems it is all possible. Just a question of enough spin..

Knots and dynamics
A collaboration with Prof. Etienne Ghys of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, containing material presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians (Madrid, August 2006)

Galleries by category :

Kleinian groups
Where we enter the wonderful world first envisaged by Felix Klein. These pages where inspired by "Indra's Pearls" by David Mumford, Caroline Series and David Wright.
3D inversive geometry
Where we we find ways of filling spheres with spheres and do other strange things with this simplest of all 3D objects...
Circle Packings
Where we discover the art of assembling kissing circles, and find out what Doyle spirals are.
The M.C.Escher flavoured pages
Where we find impossible geometry, tesselations and even the Droste effect.
Advanced geometry
Where we find Penrose, Voronoi and hyperbolic tilings..and where we have some fun with circles and spheres.We also encounter math surfaces, plane-filling curves, knot dynamics and take a mathematical look at the shape of Planet Earth.
Simple geometry
Things like Celtic knots, spirals and 'Looms".
Fractals
Fractal images
Biomorphic fractals
Biomorphic: resembling or suggesting the forms of living organisms
