The first book to explain mathematics using 3D printed models.
Winner of the Technical Text of the Washington Publishers
Wouldn-t it be great to experience three-dimensional ideas in three dimensions? In this book-the first of its kind-mathematician and mathematical artist Henry Segerman takes readers on a fascinating tour of two-, three-, and four-dimensional mathematics, exploring Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry, knots, tilings, and soap films. Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing includes more than 100 color photographs of 3D printed models. Readers can take the book-s insights to a new level by visiting its sister website, 3dprintmath.com, which features virtual three-dimensional versions of the models for readers to explore. These models can also be ordered online or downloaded to print on a 3D printer.
Combining the strengths of book and website, this volume pulls higher geometry and topology out of the realm of the abstrac
