Hi everybody So I was wondering if anyone here likes geometry,and if so do you have any ideas of cool things to do with it?
Thanks

Islamic art and tesselations (wallpaper, Penrose, Voronoi). The Logo programming environment is fun to play in (http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeedu/kturtle/index.html is one), or Context Free (http://www.contextfreeart.org/mediawiki ... troduction), or Processing (http://processing.org/)

Geometry, symmetry and invariance under transformation groups is at the vital center of theoretical physics.

Physics is geometry writ large.

CAD (computer aided drafting), not that it's easy to figure out, but there's no better way to bring your vision to life.

My favorite form of math

Er, construction problems are fun, if infuriating.

My favorite sub-topic in geometry is the study of polyhedra -- my Aspie "special interest." Many polyhedra I have examined have also been blogged for all to see (just in case the world starts sharing my special interest, ha ha ha) at http://www.robertlovespi.wordpress.com.

Geometry can get really interesting if you take it to 4 and higher dimensions! It can be extremely complex and difficult to understand but once you get into it, it can be amazingly facinating.

Guess that explains why I tried to pour coffee in my donut and take a bite out of my mug.
