The song was released as a single on March 8, 2013 by Interscope.

Critical reception of the former from critics was mixed, with criticism for the simple lyrics but praise for the chorus being catchy. Despite selling over 30,000 copies in its first few days or release, and topping the UK midweek chart, "Boomerang" had been overlooked by UK radio stations BBC Radio 1 and Capital FM due to it not being deemed relevant for their respective audiences. In the end, the song was pla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geometry
Geometry (; ) is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a ''geometer''. Until the 19th century, geometry was almost exclusively devoted to Euclidean geometry, which includes the notions of point, line, plane, distance, angle, surface, and curve, as fundamental concepts. During the 19th century several discoveries enlarged dramatically the scope of geometry. One of the oldest such discoveries is Carl Friedrich Gauss' ("remarkable theorem") that asserts roughly that the Gaussian curvature of a surface is independent from any specific embedding in a Euclidean space. This implies that surfaces can be studied ''intrinsically'', that is, as stand-alone spaces, and has been expanded into the theory of manifolds and Riemannian geometry. Later in the 19th century, it appeared that geometries ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
