9 de nov. de 2006 · The entry gives a short overview of the cubes, which Hinton designed as an aid to visualizing the fourth dimension, as well as some compelling information. Unfortunately, the actual instructions for constructing and using the cubes is only in Hinton's 1906 book The Fourth Dimension which, despite being now in the public domain, is not available online.
9 de abr. de 2022 · For those who love math ideas and are drawn to the mystique of space, Hinton's book is a guide to building an intuitive concept of 4 dimensions. Although this is visually impossible for us, Hinton draws up familiar 2- and 3-dimensional analogies using coloured cubes, squares and lines, and builds the idea of 4 dimensions from there.

1 de ene. de 1980 · He used a set of cubes, appropriately enough called "Hinton cubes," to cultivate his ability to imagine the four-dimensional counterpart to the three-dimensional cube, the hypercube or tesseract. He goes on various intellectual flights of fancy ("speculations") connecting this intuited fourth dimension to occult topics of his day, explaining apparent miracles and exploring various religious ...
Charles Hinton was an English-born mathematician best known for his writings and inventions aimed at helping to visualize the fourth dimension; he may also have coined the name tesseract for the four-dimensional analogue of a cube. Hinton matriculated at Oxford and continued to study there, earning a BA (1877) and an MA (1886), while he also ...
Hinton applied his methodology on coloured cubes, thus leading to a mental perception of the hypercube. In this article, we evolve Hinton’s methodology aiming at the mental perception of the ...
It is at right angles to all of them. The base of the cube, the top of the cube, and the four sides of the cube, each and all of them form cubes. Thus the four-square is bounded by eight cubes. Summing up, the four-square would have 16 points, 32 lines, 24 surfaces, and it would be bounded by 8 cubes.
HINTON’S CUBES “Hinton cubes” are a visualisation aid developed by the mathematician Charles H. Hinton to assist in visualising four-dimensional objects. Their use is fully described in the first appendix to The Fourth Dimension (London: Swann Sonnenschien, 1904; various reprints).
