From Mathematics to Sculpture
The John Wiley Jones Distinguished speaker George Hart will present and discuss examples of his mathematically informed sculptures, which generally apply computer technology in their design and/or fabrication. These include works made of metal, wood, plastic, or found objects, and often use laser-cutting, plasma-cutting or 3D-printing technologies in their realization. The mathematical and computer science aspects of these designs and their underlying foundations will be discussed. Physical examples will be on hand for people to see and enjoy. A few short videos will be shown.See georgehart.com for examples.In the afternoon, students are invited to participate in the hands-on construction of a geometric sculpture which will be put on display in the Gosnell Hall Atrium.
