It isn't. Geometry is only loosely involved with billiards. Physics has significantly more impact. Geometry can be used to determine single rail bank shots of the simplest types, and can be used to determine ball movement after impact for simple shots. However, rotational momentum, slide, english, rail induced english, and center of mass calculations all impact a shot such that simple geometry is not sufficent for anything other than the simplest shots to determine what will occur.

Do you frequently use geometry without identifying it as geometry?

Absolutely! If you're trying to find your way home and want to travel the shortest distance possible you're using geometry. If you're playing billiards or pool you definitely use geometry to decide what angle to shoot at. When you park your car you need to use geometry to determine if you'll fit in a space and how to get in.


How is billiards related to math?

Billiards is not directly related to math, but is related to advanced math - Geometry, trigonometry, calculus and physics can all be used and demontrated with the complex actions that occur on a billiards table. At least one US professor uses billiards as a part of complex physics demonstrations.

How is math involved in ice skating?

I'm guessing geometry. There was a movie called ice princess that involved it.


Math in relation to shooting pool?

Geometry plays a very important part of billiards. An understanding of angles of action and re-action as balls bounce off other balls and rails can be very beneficial when learning how to play pool.

How does mat relate to billiards?

It doesn't. There is no "mat" related to the game of English Billiards or Pocket Billiards.


What is the difference between Electron Geometry and Molecular Geometry and explain the circumstances under which they will not be the same?

Check the link, it is a sheet describing the different types of electron and molecular geometry. It helped me a lot. ^^ electron pair geometry and molecular geometry won't be the same if there are lone pairs involved.


Are you able to win at billiards using trigonometry?

No. Trigonometry will have little effect on being able to win at billiards or pocket billiards. A study of physics will do more, but only the simplest bank shots are aided by these sciences. The stroke and alignment are more important, and the knowlege of the more complex factors in the game than trigonometry is needed for complex shots.
