I looked at Howard models and found out that a saddle point existed when the model contained an hyperbolic region. But if no hyperbolic region is there - ...
I thought the "saddle point" existed when a hyperbolic surface is embedded in 3D Euclidean space. If the surface were embedded in higher dimensions, would it...
There should be saddle points in higher dimensions too according to the definition: a saddle point means a point which is a minimum in one plane and maximum in...
I am thinking that a saddle shaped surface in 4-space would be recognizable as saddle shaped, but that it would look really flat. Perhaps how we view the ...

A way of categorizing Smarandache geometries has occurred to me. We can categorize according to how an axiom is denied.<br><br>On a basic level, there are two ...

Howard found 2-D Smarandache geometries. Can someone find 3-D or higher dimension such geometry?<br>I know than Ben Saucer was interested in such higher...
I printed Howard's 13-th picture and tried to assemble it. First I got a cylinder, then it became difficult to connect the same points, I mean to get a Klein ...

I'm pretty sure that this is the case. I'm not ready to work on this now, but someone else can. <br><br>Here's an idea to maybe start with. Start with R^3. The...

<<Here's an idea to maybe start with. Start with R^3. The coordinate planes divide this into octants. Cut the space along the xz-plane where x is ...

What idea!<br>What about enveloping any solid with triangles, of course forcing it, I mean folded triangles to be able to approximatively enveloping the ...
You mean a model constructed by gluing simplexes together? In 2D, six triangles meet at the corners to make a Euclidean point. Five or less make a pyramid ...
How to construct a Klein bottle in 3D Euclidean space: Begin with a flat horizontal plane. Cut two holes side by side. On the top side of the plane, attach a ...
Klein bottles are known to be "Euclidean". But when we are dealing with compact manifolds, rather than infinite planes, it IS possible for lines to intersect...
<<In a compact manifold,<br> you cannot always "extend a line to ANY length", or "produce a UNIQUE<br> line through two points", or "draw a circle having...
