Description

From Mathematics to Sculpture

George Hart will present examples of his mathematically informed sculptures.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.Mathematical aspects of these designs and their underlying foundations will be discussed.Along the way, Hart will show a variety of related work from his creative output, including mathematical puzzles, insightful videos, hands-on workshop activities, and the museum of mathematics in NYC---all means to demonstrate that math is a living, creative, joyful subject.Physical examples will be on hand for people to see and enjoy.A few short videos will be shown.See www.georgehart.com for examples and more information.

George Hart is a sculptor and applied mathematician who demonstrates how mathematics is cool and creative in ways you might not have expected.

Whether he is slicing a bagel into two linked halves or leading hundreds of participants in an intricate geometric sculpture barn raising, he always finds original ways to share the beauty of mathematical thinking.

Recently retired from Stony Brook University, he holds a B.S. in Math and a Ph.D. in EECS from MIT. His research explores innovative ways to use computer technology in the design and fabrication of his artwork, which is exhibited widely around the world. Hart co-founded the Museum of Mathematics in NY City and developed its initial set of hands-on exhibits.
