I was able to attend the Illustrating Mathematics workshop at ICERM last year and thought it was fantastic! Now there is an opportunity for an entire semester of fun.

Come spend a semester illustrating mathematics with us, Fall 2019 at ICERM!

    This looks interesting in VR. (There's a VR version of this.)

    Looks great! Any interest in shorter-term visitors, if sabbatical time doesn't line up?

    Martin Weissman, I bet there will be chances to join portions. I'm hoping anyway because I won't be able to take a semester sabbatical! Henry Segerman will know details better.

    Right, there will be three week-long workshops, around which we expect people not coming for the whole semester will come for a shorter period.

    man I wanted to check if there are some online resources for the course but got stuck in a registration form(which I filled in) and then moved to an application form...You should get your UI sorted out somehow :(((

    Tim Stoev, I don't think there are (at least not yet) any online resources for the Illustrating Mathematics program.

    You might consider passing along your input to ICERM because I don't have anything to do with their online forms.

    I am not really keen on filling more forms. Don't take it personally I simply got to the page from your post so this is where I ended.

    I love the visualizations though- The hyperbolic one looks like a magnetic field. Is this in the mathematical core of magnetic bottle modelling for the cold fusion reactors?

    Roice Nelson you have some comment spam to delete.

    Thanks Henry Segerman and apologies Tim Stoev. Now that I'm getting spammed on G+, does this mean "I've made it"?

    Dammit, world bank tries again. That account is now blocked. Hopefully Tim is rich now though.

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations The Hopf Fibration of S^3 is amazing and beautiful.  Rather than describe it here, I'll point you to a lovely online reference with pictures and videos by Niles Johnson. nilesjohnson.net/hopf.html To understand it better (and fibrations in general), I recommend this talk by Niles too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us It turns out there is an analogue of the Hopf fibration for H^3.  In fact, there is not just one "fiberwise homogenous" fibration in the hyperbolic case.  There is a 2-parameter family of them, plus one additional fibration that does not fit the family.  As with S^3, fibers in the H^3 cases are geodesics.  They are ultraparallel in fibrations from the family, and parallel in the exceptional fibration.  I found the following dissertation by Haggai Nuchi a good intro and resource to help think about all this. www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/NuchiThesis.pdf I'm posting three early pictures of H^3 fibrations belo...

76 Unique Honeycombs

76 Unique Honeycombs Last weekend, Tom Ruen and I hit the milestone of uploading to wikipedia at least one image for 9 families of compact, Wythoffian, uniform H3 honeycombs, a total of 76 unique honeycombs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_honeycombs_in_hyperbolic_space You can easily browse all the images on my wiki user page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Roice3 - Compact means the cells are finite in extent.  - Wythoffian means we can generate them using a kaleidoscopic construction, that is by reflecting in mirrors.    - Uniform means they are vertex transitive and have uniform polyhedral cells. There may even be more honeycombs that meet all these criteria, I don't know. ( update: see Tom's comment below! )  I do know there are hundreds more which don't meet one or more of these criteria, many undiscovered.  In fact, there are infinitely more because there are some infinite families of honeycombs.  wendy krieger continues to discover and enumerate more...
