Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that
will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across
three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes together in the same way as the
periodic table links groups of chemical elements.
The three-year project, announced today, should provide a resource that mathematicians, physicists and other scientists can use for calculations and research in a range of areas, including computer vision, number theory, and theoretical physics.
