Here's an atypical conformal model of the hyperbolic plane.

Here's an atypical conformal model of the hyperbolic plane. The Poincaré disk is mapped to the entire plane via the Joukowsky transformation ( https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2016/01/31/joukowsky-transformation/ ), compressing the boundary-at-infinity to the interval [-1,1] on the real axis. Has this model appeared in the literature? If so, what is it named?

Originally shared by David Eppstein This artwork by Robert Bosch draws a picture of Königsberg and its seven bridges as an Eulerian graph on the points of a grid. It's only one of many many impressive and interesting pieces of mathematical art in the Bridges 2018 gallery, http://gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/2018-bridges-conference http://gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/2018-bridges-conference/bobb

Visualizing hyperbolic honeycombs talk

Visualizing hyperbolic honeycombs talk Henry Segerman gave this talk a few days ago at the Bridges 2018 conference. I think he did a great job sharing the concepts in our JMA paper! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpKWa8vrULk&feature=share

Uniform tilings of the hyperbolic plane

Uniform tilings of the hyperbolic plane by Basudeb Datta and Subhojoy Gupta Abstract. A uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane is a tessellation by regular geodesic polygons with the property that each vertex has the same vertex-type, which is a cyclic tuple of integers that determine the number of sides of the polygons surrounding the vertex. We determine combinatorial criteria for the existence, and uniqueness, of a uniform tiling with a given vertex type, and pose some open questions. https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.11393 h/t Henry Segerman for sharing with me.
