  2. Taxicab geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry

    In taxicab geometry, the lengths of the red, blue, green, and yellow paths all equal 12, the taxicab distance between the opposite corners, and all four paths are shortest paths. Instead, in Euclidean geometry, the red, blue, and yellow paths still have length 12 but the green path is the unique shortest path, with length equal to the Euclidean ...

    In taxicab geometry, p = 1. Taxicab circles are squares with sides oriented at a 45° angle to the coordinate axes. While each side would have length using a Euclidean metric, where r is the circle's radius, its length in taxicab geometry is 2r. Thus, a circle's circumference is 8r.

    A circle in taxicab geometry consists of those points that are a fixed Manhattan distance from the center. These circles are squares whose sides make a 45° angle with the coordinate axes.--Abdull 13:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC) In fact, the first statement is wrong: it should read Hilbert's axioms not Euclid's axioms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_circle

    A math circle is an extracurricular activity intended to enrich students' understanding of mathematics. The concept of math circle came into being in the erstwhile USSR and Bulgaria , around 1907, with the very successful mission to "discover future mathematicians and scientists and to train them from the earliest possible age".
