	Geometer moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The geometer moths or Geometridae are a family of the order Lepidoptera.
		As such they appear rather butterfly like but in most respects they are typical moths: The overwhelming majority fly at night, they possess a frenulum to link the wings and the antennae of the males are often feathered.
		The name Geometer (earth-measurer) refers to the means of locomotion of the larvae or caterpillars.

	Geometer (Quasar foe)
		He is a geometer, which apparently refers to his extra-terrestrial race, although it could be a guild to which he belonged.
		The Geometer sensed that the man was from the universe of his birth and traced his "disharmonic trail" back to earth.
		A Geometer, who may or may not be the same guy (This information was per Kurt Busiek) was sent to earth during the Maximum Security series, as one of the prisoners banished to Earth by the Shiar in an effort to occupy the heroes of Earth by making their world a prison planet.

	Geometer's Sketchpad Evaluation
		We feel that Geometer’s Sketchpad and Excel will be very effective in these types of settings and are well suited for male and female students.
		Geometer’s Sketchpad is a program that allows users to create and manipulate geometric images and configurations using the computer.
		Any software that motivates students because it is fun to work with is useful in the classroom as GSP is. Furthermore, math teachers will find this program particularly useful when trying to explain concepts in new ways to their students.

	Geometer's Workbench Provides Computational Power in a Familiar Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Geometer's Workbench can be thought of as a graphical front end for Mathematica, projected on the Stanford Interactive Mural--a large (6' x 2'), high-resolution display screen.
		Sha Xin Wei, one of the developers of the Geometer's Workbench, says the work may be harvested in future projects.
		The Geometer's Workbench has demonstrated that such devices can be used to advantage to provide interactions that feel natural to users, bridging the gap between casual whiteboard interactions and more syntactically formal analytical engines like Mathematica.

		Patches - there is a small handful that give some kind of idea what Geometer can do, but not many, and considering it's a funny FX to figure out, I could certainly do with more.

	Introduction to the Geometer's Angle by Marcus the Marinite for the Nexus Network Journal
		Marcus the Marinite (aka Mark A. Reynolds) introduces the Geometer's Angle, a column in the Nexus Network Journal dedicated to geometrical constructions, the procedures for drawing them, their use, significance and symbolism.
		Traditionally, the application of geometric structures in churches, temples and mosques was a prerequisite for the building of these sacred spaces, and the onsite geometer was often higher in rank then the architect.
		Unfortunately, in addition to a ground swell of renewed interest in the subject, the banner for these particular qualities of geometry has also been picked up by a few fraudulent practitioners who are looking to bilk the unsuspecting public.

		In style Geometer is a little like Carl Matthew's Life Force in that it explores several ambient territories, but is less eclectic and more cohesive on the whole.
		Near the end a forlorn melody comes in that only adds to the strange atmosphere that the listener is enveloped in.
		If Geometer is a case of "experiments in deep thought" then in my opinion the experiments have mostly been successful, certainly there are enough good tracks to make this an album worth getting hold of by those who like predominantly rhythmic ambience.
