More VR, this time with a less common Thurston geometry. I hope there will be eight papers in this series! Originally shared by Henry Segerman Second paper on non-euclidean virtual reality: H²×E, with Vi Hart, Andrea Hawksley, and Sabetta Matsumoto. https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04862

Originally shared by Henry Segerman New paper on hyperbolic virtual reality, with Vi Hart, Andrea Hawksley and Sabetta Matsumoto. https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04004

Originally shared by James Honzik An interesting article, on the life and work of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian mathematician and immigrant, now working at Stanford, who is subject to Trump's "Muslim ban" and was the first woman to win the Fields Medal - the so called Nobel Prize for Mathematics https://www.quantamagazine.org/20140812-a-tenacious-explorer-of-abstract-surfaces/

Inverse Square Law This video is not new. It is over 10 years old. The mathematics is more than an order of magnitude older (17th century). I like being enamored with the latest and greatest discoveries, but sometimes think about how we could spend a lifetime trying to understand the simplest formula.
