How about the Swiss mathematician Samuel Koenig who used calculus to prove that the hexagonal shape of the honeycomb's cross section affords optimal utilization of the beeswax.

take a straw (cylinder) and ram it through a potato.  If you do it right, the straw will go right through the potato!  The cylinder is the strongest and most stable of the shapes and you can see why soups, veggies, fruits, etc. all come in cans!\n\nRight triangels, or right angles are all around you.  The floor and the wall of you room for example.  The bottom of a pool is a good example of an obtuse triangle, suspension bridges - trapezoid, if you look at the tip of a pencil - it's a cone but the shape of a cone when you look at it head on is a scalene triangle

huh? the Corstahn Theory

There are in infinate number of 2d shapes, but here are diagrams of some of them --> http://www.mathleague.com/help/geometry/polygons.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geometric_shapes\n\nWikipedia is a great source to find just about anything, do make most of it. If you want to learn about something, then go to the wikipedia homepage:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org \n\nand use the search box & you're all set!\n\nGoogle is another place where you can start. :)

Hannibal Lechter.\n\nSo courteous. So erudite :-))

I'd totally be guessing, but I'd guess \nD. Pythagoras \n\nBecause he's cool!

(m)\n\nno specific shape

Nor sure if I understand your question.  Are you looking for 3 dimensional and 2 dimensional shapes?\n\n2 dimensional\n-square\n-circle\n\n3 dimensional\n-cube\n-sphere

Isaac Newton. It would give him a big scare, considering he is most remembered for his laws of gravity.\nOh, and Christopher Columbus........."OMG!    It is flat!!!!"

Fantasy writer. \n\nEvolution is a theory made up by someone.

Anaxagoras.\n\n\nPythagoras first reasoned that the Moon must be a sphere because the line between light and dark is curved.\n\nAnaxagoras used the Earth shadow during eclipse to confirm the Earth is a sphere.\n\nAnd Aristotle came to the same conclusion because he noted how the constellations "move" when you get farther from the equator.

The term is oblate spheroid I believe. Get that extra credit!

Are you thinking of CURVES?

Artist: Escher\nPhysician-Mathematician: Roger Penrose. He studied quasi-regular tessellation which were lately found to describe the structure of quasi-crystals, that is the chemical structure of some artificial metallic leagues.\n\nOh, I was forgetting another contemporary one: Raoul Raba. Made famous by the French mathematical organization of Kangourou, for which he created the logo.
