Beautiful new geometry videos

4 February, 2010 in category english, Mathematics for non-mathematicians by Konrad Voelkel.

On dimensions-math.org you can see a whole bunch of before unseen geometry videos introducing 2-, 3- and 4-dimensional space, complex numbers and even more to the non-mathematician.

Video: Some important themes in geometry

30 January, 2010 in category english, Mathematics for non-mathematicians by Konrad Voelkel.

Mathematics for non-mathematicians: I recommend a talk by Dan Freed, "The Hodge Conjecture". You'll get a glimpse on some central ideas of geometry from this talk, even if you're not interested in the Hodge Conjecture.
