Elementary geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties and relationships of basic geometric figures such as points, lines, angles, triangles, circles, and polygons. It lays the foundation for more advanced geometrical concepts and is typically one of the first areas of geometry studied in school. Key concepts in elementary geometry include: 1. **Points and Lines**: The fundamental building blocks of geometry.
"Ombak tujuh," which translates to "seven waves" in English, is a traditional concept found in Indonesian culture, particularly associated with the island of Bali. It typically refers to a specific natural phenomenon where a series of seven waves occur in succession. In Balinese culture, these waves are often linked to various aspects of spirituality and rituals. For example, they may play a role in ceremonial practices or signify important moments in life.
Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective that requires the viewer to occupy a specific vantage point, use a particular mirror, or engage with the artwork in a certain way to perceive the intended image or form. The term is often used in the context of visual arts, particularly in painting and drawing, but it can also apply to other forms of representation, such as sculpture.
Cosmogony is the study of the origin and development of the universe, particularly the processes that lead to the creation of celestial bodies and the cosmos as a whole. It encompasses various philosophical, religious, and scientific explanations of how the universe came into being. In mythology and religion, cosmogonies often include narratives that describe the creation of the world by deities or cosmic forces.
Arithmeum is a mathematical museum located in Bonn, Germany. It emphasizes the history and development of mathematics, particularly arithmetic. The museum features a variety of exhibits, including historical artifacts, mathematical models, and interactive displays that illustrate mathematical concepts and the evolution of mathematical thought. One of the key attractions of the Arithmeum is its extensive collection of calculating devices, from ancient tools to modern machines. Visitors can explore the significance of mathematics in everyday life, science, and technology.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
