Artistic Mathematics: Truth and Beauty
International Day of Mathematics Public Lecture by Henry Segerman
March 14 @ 17:30 – 19:30
Dr Segerman will talk about his work in mathematical visualization: making accurate, effective, and beautiful pictures, models, and experiences of mathematical concepts. He will 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. Dr Segerman will also discuss his experiences in teaching a project-based class on 3D printing for mathematics students.
The theme of International Day of Mathematics 2025 is Mathematics Art, and Creativity. In honour of the theme, University of Oklahoma mathematician and artist Henry Segerman will give a talk about his incredible mathematical visualizations. This will be a free event targeted to the general public, including interested school students. More details and registration.
