Artistic mathematics: truth and beauty

Mathematics Colloquium

Artistic mathematics: truth and beauty
Series: Mathematics Colloquium
Location: MATH 501
Presenter: Henry Segerman

I'll talk about my work in mathematical visualization: making accurate, effective, and beautiful pictures, models, and experiences of mathematical concepts. I'll discuss what it is that makes a visualization compelling, and show many examples in the medium of 3D printing, as well as some work in virtual reality and spherical video. I'll also discuss my experiences in teaching a project-based class on 3D printing for mathematics students.

(Refreshments will be served in the Math Commons Room at 3:30 PM)
