EP1 Dimension Two Jul 18, 2008

Hipparchus explains how two numbers can describe the position of a point on a sphere. He then explains stereographic projection: how can one draw a picture of the Earth on a piece of paper?

EP2 Dimension Three Jul 25, 2008

M. C. Escher tells the adventures of two-dimensional creatures who are trying to imagine three-dimensional objects.

EP3 The fourth dimension (1) Aug 01, 2008

Mathematician Ludwig Schläfli talks to us about objects in the fourth dimension and shows us a procession of regular polyhedra in dimension 4, strange objects with 24, 120 and even 600 faces!
