Description
Book SynopsisWith the book in one hand and a 3D printed model in the other, readers can find deeper meaning while holding a hyperbolic honeycomb, touching the twists of a torus knot, or caressing the curves of a Klein quartic.
Trade ReviewMy best advice is to go out and buy yourself a copy of the book. Chalkdust Magazine The breadth of Segerman's 3D printing explorations is impressive. Coupled with the clarity of his explanations of the mathematics behind those explorations, this book becomes an easy recommendation for any reader interested in learning some beautiful mathematical ideas. Journal of Mathematics and the Arts No previous mathematical maturity is required. The work is a good addition to any academic library. Highly recommended Choice I have great difficulty thinking about Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing as "just a book." The careful choice, quality and effectiveness of the 140+ images in the book is outstanding. What Segerman has developed is much bigger than a book he has developed a whole platform to complement the book and explore mathematical concepts. Visualizing Mathematics with 3D printing allows the reader to manipulate with a computer or 3D print the objects discussed, making it possible to physically interact with the concepts.
