Wed Jan 9, Thu Jan 10, Tue Jan 15, 03-04:00pm, 24-619
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: A desire to visualize funky shapes.
Make and bring home your own copy of hyperbolic space, learn about geometry, the shape of space, donuts, and double donuts. We'll construct wacky 3-spaces that don't look at all like the one we live in. All (Euclidean 3-space embeddable) construction materials will be provided. Each day can stand alone but will provide a better picture with the other days.
