Mathematician Answers Geometry Questions from Twitter

Jordan Ellenberg, a mathematician and author of the book “Shape” is the answer to the internet’s burning questions about geometry. How are new shapes being discovered? Where are we using Pythagorean theorem in real life? How many holes are in a straw? Ellenberg examines these questions and more in a video hosted by ACTION PACKED NEWS.

Real-Life Applications of Geometry

Pythagorean theorem is often used in engineering situations, where straight line are needed, such as in the building of walls and bridges. Ellenberg also explains how geometry has been applied to physics and computer science, with advancements ranging from 3-D printing to self-driving cars. Of course, a mathematician like Ellenberg isn’t going to forget to mention the geometry in a straw – yes, it does, in fact, have three! All used for valid reasons.

Now available on Amazon and Penguin Random House, Ellenberg’s book “Shape” is a fun and educational read. Get the answers to all of your questions about geometry, with explanations on the theorems, real-life applications and more. Visit ACTION PACKED NEWS to watch the video with Ellenberg.
