Divine Proportions does not assume much in the way of mathematical background in its readers, but its many long formulas, frequent consideration of finite fields, and (after part I) emphasis on mathematical rigour are likely to be obstacles to a popular mathematics audience. Instead, it is mainly written for mathematics teachers and researchers.
Having attending several of Norman Wildeberger's talks, the rationale behind rational trigonometry is that the concept of an angle belongs to a circle (ie, Euler's formula), and that the concept of spread is far more natural for a triangle (c.f. Thales' theorem). Angles and distance also break down in fields other than the real numbers, whereas ...

I just created this article, because Wildberger clearly needed an article, as he has made an important contribution to mathematics with his new subject known as "rational trigonometry."Dratman 01:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC) I think there have been changes since the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Norman J. Wildberger discussion. Wildberger is ...
The math template formats mathematical formulas generated using HTML or wiki markup. (It does not accept the AMS-LaTeX markup that <math> does.) The template uses the texhtml class by default for inline text style formulas, which aims to match the size of the serif font with the surrounding sans-serif font (see below).

A simplicial 3-complex. In mathematics, a simplicial complex is a structured set composed of points, line segments, triangles, and their n-dimensional counterparts, called simplices, such that all the faces and intersections of the elements are also included in the set (see illustration).
A root rectangle is a rectangle in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the square root of an integer, such as √ 2, √ 3, etc. [2] The root-2 rectangle (ACDK in Fig. 10) is constructed by extending two opposite sides of a square to the length of the square's diagonal.
