Year : 2005

Issue : Aug-Oct

Title  : Do We Really Understand Geometry? 

Author Name  : I.L. Vikentyev 

Synopsis: 

Here is such a characteristic example. 40 Higher Education students were asked which technical characteristics of a hyperboloid they knew. Each remembered the essence of the mathematical definitions, some even referred to the construction of V.G. Shukhov's tower... but that was all. But the hyperboloid, like any other geometric figure, has a wealth of useful creative applications in technology.
