Henry Segerman: Design of 3D-Printed Mathematical Art

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summaries

Summary Sentence: Henry Segerman is popularizing math by marrying it to 3D printing.

Full Summary: The School of Mathematics hosts a special talk by Henry Segerman, who is popularizing mathematics by marrying it to 3D printing. Segerman is a wonderful speaker; his talk is accessible to everyone.

Henry Segerman is a mathematician whose research is in the areas of 3-dimensional topology and hyperbolic geometry. He is also the author of the upcoming book Visualizing with 3-D Printing. According to his website (www.segerman.org), "The twist with this book is that whenever it makes sense, figures in the book will be photos of 3D prints that readers can download and print for themselves, buy online, or rotate around on screen."
