In solid mechanics, analyzing three-dimensional stress problems can quickly become complicated and time-consuming. However, ...

3 Credits. Material and 3-Dimensional Form introduces students to the material, techniques and ideas that comprise the three-dimensional world of "made" things and natural forms. The basic abstract ...

One popular approach: Suppose our knowable universe is a two-dimensional plane in three-dimensional space. A solid ball hovering above the plane is invisible to us. But if it falls and contacts the ...

On a two-dimensional plane, you can imagine holding a rod fixed at one end and spinning the other end to trace out a circle. In three dimensions, the same trick works, but now the rod has more ...

One popular approach: Suppose our knowable universe is a two-dimensional plane in three-dimensional space. A solid ball hovering above the plane is invisible to us.

The answer, in its simplest terms, is that the mathematics governing the two-dimensional plane gives rise to the laws of general relativity as it scales up into our three-dimensional universe. One ...
