Arthur Paul Mattuck (June 11, 1930 [1] – October 8, 2021 [1] [2]) was an emeritus professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [3] He may be best known for his 1998 book, Introduction to Analysis ( ISBN 013-0-81-1327 ) and his differential equations video lectures featured on MIT's OpenCourseWare.
The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students reason about geometrical figures; or rather to teach them not to reason using figures, but to use only textual descriptions and the axioms of geometry. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations.
This page will attempt to list examples in mathematics. To qualify for inclusion, an article should be about a mathematical object with a fair amount of concreteness. Usually a definition of an abstract concept, a theorem, or a proof would not be an "example" as the term should be understood here (an elegant proof of an isolated but particularly striking fact, as opposed to a proof of a ...

The Math Images Project is a wiki collaboration between Swarthmore College, the Math Forum at Drexel University, and the National Science Digital Library. The project aims to introduce the public to mathematics through beautiful and intriguing images found throughout the fields of math. The Math Images Project runs on MediaWiki software, as ...
The widely accepted interpretation of, e.g. the Poggendorff and Hering illusions as manifestation of expansion of acute angles at line intersections, is an example of successful implementation of a "bottom-up," physiological explanation of a geometrical–optical illusion. Ponzo illusion in a purely schematic form and, below, with perspective clues
Some representations, such as pictures, videos and manipulatives, can motivate because of their richness, possibilities of play, use of technologies, or connections with interesting areas of life. [4] Tasks that involve multiple representations can sustain intrinsic motivation in mathematics, by supporting higher-order thinking and problem solving.
Date Picture Description Credit Read More December 2013: A Froebel star is a traditional German Christmas decoration. It is named after German educationist Friedrich Fröbel (1782–1852), who encouraged the use of paper folding in pre–primary education with the aim of conveying simple mathematical concepts to children.
