Six mathematical gems from the history of Distance Geometry
read the original abstract
This is a partial account of the fascinating history of Distance Geometry. We make no claim to completeness, but we do promise a dazzling display of beautiful, elementary mathematics. We prove Heron's formula, Cauchy's theorem on the rigidity of polyhedra, Cayley's generalization of Heron's formula to higher dimensions, Menger's characterization of abstract semi-metric spaces, a result of Goedel on metric spaces on the sphere, and Schoenberg's equivalence of distance and positive semidefinite matrices, which is at the basis of Multidimensional Scaling.

The method of kinematic limits in high-energy physics
A general approach is proposed for calculating kinematic limits in particle physics when Lorentz invariants analogous to Cayley-Menger determinants vanish.
