Abstract

In this paper, we describe three applications of geometric reasoning to important practical problems ranging from micro- to macro-level. Specifically, we use geometric reasoning to explain why metastasis is mostly caused by elongated cancer cell, why curiosity in fish is strongly correlated with body shape, and why ring-shaped fractures appear in Antarctica.
