MATHEMATICS & REALITY
Artistic mathematics: truth and beauty

Friday, April 14, 2023
1:30 pm – 3 pm
Derrick Hall 113

Reception with speaker in attendance follows the presentation

The invited speaker is Dr. Henry Segerman

Henry Segerman, a British American mathematician and mathematical artist at Oklahoma State University.

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.
