More than 3 variables???

[ryan2006]

Is it possible to make math into more than 3 variables. What if you described a plane for insist and drew say 5 of them and then added the total surface area of the planes. We can imagine a plane as four sided. or a circle or a triangle. These are some of the things I had been working on in a book called Project Andromeda.Anyway maybe you can make something of it. Anyone add to this. Oh yeah suspend the squares, triangles, and circles in the air. And then imagine them as different orders. Use the power of closing your eyes. Use a standard shape or a large shape. Mix or match the shapes but then think this. MORE THAN THREE VARIABLES. Did anything happen?

O.k parallel universes or more than one dimension. Coexistent dimensions. Squares or planes of existence anyway doesn't matter. 9 cubes with exact distances of the cube space in between but making a full square how do you figure this in space. or how do you figure 10 slices of bread or planes lined up in a loaf separated atomically. Don't eat the bread rather think ten planes side by side atomically separated forget atomically or don't you choose now A=plane

B=plane C=plane D=plane E=plane F=plane G=plane H=plane I=plane J=plane

all standard shaped planes now what is the sum of planes? 10 right easy same size same dimensions well what about time? I guess not this is silly.

A cardboard box. A square. Six planes. 1+1+1+1+1+1 easy. A+B+C=triangle

The top of a pickle jar=a circle A card board box, a triangle, and a pickle jar lid.

A plane, a triangle and a circle. A triangle A plane and A Circle 1 2 3 B circle B triangle B plane 1circle 2 circle 3 circle 2plane 2plane 2plane 3triangle 3triangle 3 triangle

 

now people can you add to this?

What I meant to say is can you guys put up a science hypography website for kids?

Of course it is!

 

Mathematicians have been doing it for donkey's years, even with infinitely many variables.

Mathematics is NOT limited to 2 variables. Even in high school math you will bump into problems like:

 

2A + B - C = 1

A - B + 2C = 5

A +3B - C = 4 . . . Solve for A, B and C

 

This problem has 3 variables, and would be considered a very easy problem to solve.

 

Now, a "variable" is NOT a "dimension". Science recognizes 4 dimensions today, one of them being a special dimension (different from the other 3) called Time. Don't confuse dimensions with variables.

 

There are mathematics that tackle 3-dimensional things: Solid Geometry, Spherical Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry and Calculus in 3 Dimensions.

 

There are in fact, as Q said above, mathematics in multiple dimensions more than 3 or 4. Dozens. Hundreds. More. But they tend to be very abstract.

 

Maybe what you could use is a "dictionary" of mathematical subjects with a definition of what each subject covers and what it is used for.
