Description
Experience mathematics in three dimensions with 3D printed models. Mathematician and artist Henry Segerman explores Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry, knots, tilings, and soap films through over 100 color photographs of 3D printed models. Readers can take the book's insights to a new level by visiting its sister website, where virtual three-dimensional versions of the models are available for exploration. These models can also be ordered online or downloaded to print on a 3D printer. By combining the strengths of book and website, this volume brings higher geometry and topology into the hands of anyone fascinated by mathematical relationships of shape. With the book in one hand and a 3D printed model in the other, readers can find deeper meaning while interacting with hyperbolic honeycombs, torus knots, and Klein quartics.
