      Article
      Open Access
      In this article we consider $S$ to be a set of points in $d$-space with the property that any $d$ points of $S$ span a hyperplane and not all the points of $S$ are contained in a hyperplane. The aim of this article is to ...

      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      In this study we present a geometric approach to proxy economic uncertainty. We design a positional indicator of disagreement among survey-based agents' expectations about the state of the economy. Previous dispersion-based ...

      Conference report
      Open Access
      First-year propaedeutic subjects such as Descriptive Geometry are perceived by students as the acquisition of an initial instrumental knowledge, without a direct application in their professional work. Contrary to what ...
