The angle of inclination of the triangular faces is about 51.5 degrees. The square of its height equals the area of each triangular face, as determined by Herodotus in 450 B. C. The base of the pyramid covers about 13 acres. The other two pyramids in the famous trio are Khafre, 704 feet (214.5 meters) square, 471 feet (143.5 meters) high, with a face inclination of 53.2 degrees, and Menkaure, 345.5 feet (110 meters) square, 216 feet (68.8 meters) high, with a face inclination of 51.3 degrees (or possibly 330ft wide and 206 ft high (105m x 65.5m)).

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Station/8228/earch.htm

Extractions: Egyptian Architecture The ancient Egyptians used the golden ratio in much of their artwork, including in heiroglyphs, the pyramids, and many statues. The Ahmes papyrus of Egypt gives an account of the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza in 4700 B.C. with proportions according to a "sacred ratio." Modern measurements show that the ratio of the distance from groud center to base edge, to slant edge of the pyramid is amost exactly 0.618. The sides of the pyramid appear to be golden triangles. A golden triangle is an isosceles triangle with base angles of 72º and a vertex angle of 36º. The picture above shows that the apothem (central height) of any of the side triangles of the pyramid relate to half the base in the proportional ratio of the golden section. In cubits (the measurement used by ancient Egyptians): 1/2 base = 220; apothem = 356; 356:220 = 1.618 Also, the 3-4-5 triangle is the golden ratio between its 5 unit side and 3 unit base. The Egyptians thought this was of vital importance. They used this triangle in many ways, such as a surveying tool and in the pyramids. The three oldest Giza pyramids lay on a Fibonacci spiral and the opening to the Hall of Records is geometrically marked by the lines which bisect the golden rectangle.

Extractions: a rchitecture - The art of designing and constructing buildings ( structures ), and other environmental features. A person who practises architecture is called an architect The jargon of architecture is what architects and designers archly call "talkitecture" or "archispeak." They refer to windows as " glazing " or " fenestration ," and a beam or lintel as " trabeation ." A covered driveway is a "porte-cochere." Nothing is simply flat , it's " planar " instead. Construction people are content with solid Anglo-Saxon words: wall, window, and door. Architects add a savory salad of Latin- and French-based words. Architects eschew gustatory metaphors like my salad, but they can't hold back from using the human body as metaphor: a building can have arms, head, spine, skeleton, skin, etc. Western periods of architectural history generally parallel those of the other arts: classical Gothic Renaissance Mannerism ... Modernism , and Postmodernism among them.

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Architecture.html

Extractions: Although many readers of this archive might find an article on mathematics and architecture a little surprising, in fact architecture was in ancient times considered a mathematical topic and the disciplines have, up to the present time, retained close connections. Perhaps once one realises that mathematics is essentially the study of patterns, the connection with architecture becomes clearer. Salingaros writes in [27]:- Historically, architecture was part of mathematics, and in many periods of the past, the two disciplines were indistinguishable. In the ancient world, mathematicians were architects, whose constructions - the pyramids, ziggurats, temples, stadia, and irrigation projects - we marvel at today. In Classical Greece and ancient Rome, architects were required to also be mathematicians. When the Byzantine emperor Justinian wanted an architect to build the Hagia Sophia as a building that surpassed everything ever built before, he turned to two professors of mathematics geometers , Isidoros and Anthemius , to do the job. This tradition continued into the Islamic civilization. Islamic architects created a wealth of two-dimensional tiling patterns centuries before western mathematicians gave a complete classification.

More Math Concepts The great thing about geometry is that it is all around us! And the architecture of buildings and objects provides a perfect setting for students to look at and find shapes and geometric properties. It is wonderful to help students to see the mathematics in the shapes and designs of the world around them. You might use some or all of these activities: Create a geometry slide show: Take slides of architectural structures and objects that represent different figures and types of geometry and mathematics. This can include slides from other places but should also include slides of buildings or objects that the students will easily recognize as being in their school and community. You can use these slides at the beginning of the geometry unit when you are learning about or reviewing names of different object and their properties. Slides work well for this activity because they allow everyone to see the same picture at the same time and to talk about the geometry in that picture.

Extractions: LEHNER: Wow, do you want the real answer or the abridged version? I first went to Egypt in 1972 as a tourist. And then I went back in 1973, the following year as a year abroad student at the American University in Cairo. And it's no secret that when I went I myself was imbued with the ideas of lost civilizations and inspired by a man named Edgar Cayce. So I was in fact, myself, looking for the lost civilization and something called the Hall of Records. Get RealAudio plugin Or at least those ideas were on my mind. To make a long story short, those ideas didn't stand up against bedrock reality. And so then I was still fascinated by these pyramids and the Sphinx. Then I asked the question, well, what is the real story? What is the story that the site itself has to tell. And so that's what sustained me and kept me out there in a kind of exploratory mode.

Extractions: the physics of invisible and immortal David Pinnegar BSC ARCS An old man once asked what was the difference between someone from the town and someone from the countryside. " The town man ", he said, " is clever. The country man is wise Town men might laugh at the bee-keeper talking to his bees or the seedsman talking to his plants and tell them that they are mad. When a swarm of wild bees in the walls of Hammerwood heard a bee-keeper proposing to kill them for fear of the spread of disease, the bees heard him and felt my fear for them! Within two hours they had fled elsewhere. Increasingly that which was unimaginable is now understandable. What would the medieval peasant have thought about that biblical story of Adam being put to sleep, cut open, the extraction of a rib and his being sewn back together, alive? In the past, life was simple - it was all a matter of belief. As we ate of the tree of knowledge, life became less clear. With imperfect knowledge Darwinists told us that we evolved from a primeval sea of life and they disrupted the faith of many. Yet scientific understanding of the DNA mechanism may yet confirm conclusively our old beliefs. If life ever evolved from chaos, the ancient myths suggest that it did so in another creation. What was light long ago has faded into darkness. Imperfect knowledge plunges us into a sea of uncertainty but in the deeper knowledge of science we rediscover the beauty of creation. The job common to artists, priests and scientists is to make that which was invisible visible. The task of the museum curator is to preserve the source materials.

Luca Pacioli by Jacopo de Barbari, 1495 The goal of the course is to study connections between mathematics and art and architecture. You will see how mathematics is not just about formulas and logic, but about patterns, symmetry, structure, shape and beauty. We will study topics like tilings, polyhedra and perspective. After taking this course you will look at the world with new eyes and notice mathematical structures around you. Raphael's School of Athens, 1510-11 We start by studying tilings . They occur in many settings, and have a rich mathematical structure.
